In a sugarcane plantation in Brazil, a charismatic and solitary outlaw lives on the fringes of the law. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes the last owner of a coffee plantation. With a mix of cunning and brute force, he manages to take control of the estate, but soon finds himself facing a problem bigger than he anticipated. In his quest for power and recognition, he decides to engage in the slave trade—a seemingly lucrative business that pulls him into a whirlwind of violence and betrayal.
The story intensifies as our protagonist is forced to confront the internal conflicts of a decaying colonial world and the suffering of native communities. As tensions rise, he becomes the leader of a revolt with the very slaves he had exploited. Now, the struggle for freedom is his only option for redemption. With vibrant landscapes full of symbolism, a complex tale unfolds about human nature, power, and despair.
The atmosphere is imbued with the music of Popol Vuh, adding an almost mystical dimension to the narrative, as characters dance between brutality and hope. Facing both internal and external enemies, the protagonist must decide whether his ambition is worth the high price of life and freedom or if he will find a true cause for which to fight.
