    • Synopsis
    • Marcelo is a cowboy at a farm and in his spare time he works as a rodeo announcer, his true passion. Until one night, when arriving home, he is forced to surrender by armed man who coerce him to help them drive the cattle into three large trucks to transportation. Besides the cattle, the robbers also take his stallion Appaloosa horse, which was Marcelo’s dream come true, and which he bought less than two months before the cattle raid.

      After the cattle raid, completely traumatized and very scared, Marcelo is visited by Marcia, 26, his younger sister who lives in a community in Rio de Janeiro, and who he hadn’t seen for 5 years.

      Marcia and Marcelo’s friend, Kaic, 28, will help him get over the trauma. Kaic invites Marcelo to sleep over for a couple nights at his place, since Marcelo can’t have a good night’s sleep in the house where he lived and where the robbery took place.

      Marcelo feels better but can’t fully recover from the trauma. He tries to get back to his normal life, and with his friends he starts to plan a new rodeo, to once again put into action his true passion.
