João, a truck driver, leaves his hometown and travels across the country. On one of his trips, he discovers a boy, Duda, hidden in his truck; the child, who has no mother, is in search of his father. João reluctantly agrees to take him to the nearest city, and ends up forming a friendship with him.
The film received mixed reviews.[2][3] Several critics pointed out similarities with Silveira's 2005 feature Two Sons of Francisco.
