A film starting from naught. With no prior research, no characters, no sites, nor specific themes, a film team arrive to the hinterland of Paraíba state in northeastern Brazil in search of people with stories to tell. In the village of S?o Jo?o do Rio do Peixe they come to Sítio Ara?ás, a rural community of 86 families, mostly relatives. With a girl from Ara?ás as mediator, the residents, in their majority, elderly, tell their life story, marked by popular catholicism, by a hierarchy, by a sense of family and honor - in a world fast disappearing.
