Summary:
Starting with nothing mapped out except their base hotel, a film crew enters the state of Paraíba in northeastern Brazil in search of interesting stories and people living in the isolated rural communities. The stories are mostly told by the elderly residents and reveal a world of memories, experiences, beliefs and folk practices that are disappearing out of the community collective memory.
