Patrícia Soso

Pendant le carnaval, Ana 11 ans se rend dans le sud du Brésil pour les funérailles de sa grand-mère. La nuit, par la fenêtre de la maison familiale, elle voit le fantôme de sa grand-mère entrer dans la forêt. Quand Ana décide de la suivre, elle découvre un monde de fantaisie et de mystère. Elle voudrait résoudre une vieille querelle familiale, mais son chemin est semé d'embûches : des sorcières, des méchants, des créatures étranges et surtout, un chien sauvage qui garde le passage vers ce monde fantastique.

Picucha may seem old-fashioned, but she has modern ideas and a great sense of humor. As the matriarch of a big family, she is involved in the daily lives of her children, grandchildren and other relatives. Undeterred by the typical problems of old age, she uses her many years of experience to solve problems in the best way possible.

Miguel —alias Tibars, alias “Djon África,” born and raised in Portugal— is a kindhearted Rastafarian who loves women and lives a carefree life. Until one day a stranger tells him he's the spitting image of his father, “a player and a crook.” His father, whom he never even knew! This intriguing discovery makes him change tack. Particularly when his grandmother, who always took care of him, finally tells him how his father was in prison; how sad Miguel was as a toddler when he couldn't see him; how his father was banished to Cape Verde. Miguel goes there to visit him. Who is this man?
