About

A man from Veredas leaves his mother's brothel with his three-legged dog and Moby-Dick to find the father he never met.

In the quiet town of Veredas, Ismael (Gabriel Martins) grows up in the shadow of Casa Rosa, the brothel his mother runs in the backlands of Minas Gerais. The locals know him by a harsh nickname tied to his mother's work, and the town has settled on an identity for him before he can choose one. Tired of that life, he leaves with Bacalhau (Matheus Nachtergaele), his three-legged dog, and a copy of Moby-Dick, the only connection to the father he has never met. They head across the Brazilian backlands toward the coast, where Ismael hopes to find his father. On the road, encounters keep reshaping him while also recalling the fate he is trying to escape.
