Synopsis
Somewhere in rural Brazil, in a poor village in the middle of the sugar plantations, a young girl lives with her grandfather. Devoid of any affection and warmth, she spends her days as a house slave. The evenings are no better. Her brutal grandfather shows her off naked behind the filling station to local and passing machos, who gratify themselves while looking at her body. The only interest she gets, albeit dubious, comes from the young man who is digging a cesspit beside her grandfather's house.
