Dumbo, a teenager living with his father on a small rural property, discovers love in a macho environment and witnesses the advances of a landowner interested in their land. Twenty years later, Marta, a mature woman isolated in her grief in the same area, now inhabited by elephants, experiences a conflicted relationship with a young man from the community and struggles against another powerful farmer interested in the remaining lands of the Elephant Valley. Two love stories in the Brazilian Midwest intertwine across time, customs, prejudices, and the resistance of the cerrado against the imminent invasion of agribusiness.
