A claustrophobic situation where you have to choose the right words to be free.

Maria Eduarda, a cowgirl from the backwoods of Pernambuco, Adelino, a farmer from Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Augusto Leal Filho (Nico) and Pedro Costa (in memory), Marajoara cowboys, Pará, and Afonso, a cowboy from the Pampas Gaúchos. Among them, the relationship with the place, with the animals, with freedom and with the heritage of the craft that has been passed down for generations. The story of one of the oldest works in Brazil, based on the record of the daily bravery of working in the field.

In a quilombo in the backlands of Ceará, Dulce witnesses the murder of her partner, Davi, carried out by gunmen on the orders of a foreign mining company. Threatened, Dulce goes to São Paulo, where she gives voice to the crime that occurred and denounces the involvement of the multinational, with the support of NGOs and lawyers. Orphaned and raised on a mission by sisters, Dulce is sought out in São Paulo by Beatriz, who reveals herself to be her mother. Abandoned as a baby, she also discovers that she has a twin brother, now her sister Marisa, who owns a karaoke bar with a "refuge" spirit, which brings together an LGBTIQ+ audience, a completely new universe for Dulce. Dulce and Marisa demand that Beatriz reveal something about their unknown father and now set off together, back to the backlands, with two missions: to celebrate the victory of the quilombo and to find the father who never knew of his daughters' existence.

It is the story of a regular day when mother makes money working in the city and father work in the fields to keep their seven children.
