The febrile portrait of a Brazilian city in transformation, haunted by its ghosts from the past.
Synopsis
Every four years, the calm routine of Camocim de São Félix, a small city in Pernambuco, is rocked.

In the middle of this electoral market, Mayra tries to create a "clean" campaign to elect her candidate and friend, César.
