In a country town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, Januária is going to marry the shy and naive Amorim. But in her heart she wants to escape with her dream hero, the cowboy Roy Pereira, and start a new life in Texas.

Au Brésil Zézé, presque 8 ans, vit à la campagne dans une famille pauvre. Il est sensible et précoce, aime raconter des histoires. Jamais à court d'idées, il se réfugie souvent sous les branches d'un oranger qu'il prend comme confident: à lui, son bel oranger, il peut confier ses secrets, ses peurs, ses joies...

Based on Guimarães Rosa's (classic Brazilian author) short story, the movie tells the story of Augusto Matraga, a bankrupt and violent farmer who lives above the Law in Minas Gerais' hinterland. During a difficult time, he finds himself in the middle of a trap that nearly kills him. Born again, Matraga resorts to faith and hard work in the pursuit of redemption. Years later, he arrives at the village reigned by the hinterland's ruler and his thugs. This new friendship will challenge his destiny. Inside Matraga, the Saint and the Warrior will duel until his time comes.
