In the drought areas of Northeastern of Brazil, groups of migrants move trying to find better place to live, at least with water.

In the poor area of Recife, an old washerwoman launders clothes to survive and support her family. Her husband Zé Luis, a former sailor, is crazy due to a hit of the boom of a mast on his head.
