Pedro has lived in the desert for four years, along with his mother and sister; voluntarily marginalized as a result of an inexplicable plague that affected them, their days pass slowly, dry and heavy. Young people must look for water, take care of them, live the painful process of the disease and see their bodies decay while the water is scarce. Death is fast approaching, while the desert blooms at its side.

The Silva family is pioneer and a role model within the community; it shows values and the goal to not let the candombe tradition fade away. Not only do they have an internal hierarchy, but also in his neighbourhood, Waldemar “Cachila” Silva is a respected leader. Cachila decide to pass on his legacy to his sons Matias and Wellington, who should now lead the family business, afro descendants playing candombe, a drum rhythm for the carnival contest and keep the privilege place obtained by the family. Patriarchy, hierarchy and cultural traditions are the concepts that drive this documentary about the life of a man of African descent and a dysfunctional family trying to perpetuate its power, which is crucial for the future of a culture.
