A group of armed soldiers is sent to the Northeast of Brazil in an attempt to stop a famine-struck population from invading and stealing a food deposit in the dry backlands. While the alienation and insanity of people driven to hallucination by their latent hunger is conducted by the predictions of a religious figure, a truck driver observes the situation and remains torn between his friendship with the soldiers and his revolt against the lack of government action in fighting the misery that lingers over the region.

Everything in this movie has a dense and impactful tone through striking sound and visual elements. Hypnotic chants and prayers with desperate guttural vociferations are present, fusing religious fanaticism and the search for hope. The presence of the military and their weaponry adds an oppressive tone to the narrative. The stark realism of the performances and direction gives it an almost documentary feel, resulting in visceral, impactful scenes and a disturbing final act.
