Synopsis
Ubaldo (Allan Souza Lima), a São Paulo bank clerk, finds his roots in the fictional town of Cratará, in the Northeast state of Ceará. The son of Amaro Vaqueiro, a legendary former bandit, he reconnects with his sisters, Dilvânia (Thainá Duarte) and Dinorah (Alice Carvalho) whom he never knew he had, and is gradually drawn into the brutal world of modern-day cangaço.
