The author describes the education and evolution of a somwaht neurotic young man and at the ame time provides a wonderfully nunaced trip into the northeast heartland of Brazil during the early-20th century before World War II. The young Carlinhos after bring orphaned is sent from Recife to Santa Rosa, in the plantation that belonged to his grandfather, Colonel José Paulino. There he spent most of his time with the children of the plantation laborers, former slaves. The story is set largely in the 1920s. In Brazil slavery was ended less then 40 years earlier, but the condition of the African Brazilians had only changed legally, not economically, as is depicted in the movie.
