'All I've got is hunger. And that unstable way of grasping an apple in the dark, without letting it fall.
Martim, believing that he has committed murder, flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through the vastness of nature, he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There, Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely.
