Overview

In a quilombo in the backlands of Ceará, Dulce witnesses the murder of her partner, Davi, carried out by gunmen on the orders of a foreign mining company. Threatened, Dulce goes to São Paulo, where she gives voice to the crime that occurred and denounces the involvement of the multinational, with the support of NGOs and lawyers. Orphaned and raised on a mission by sisters, Dulce is sought out in São Paulo by Beatriz, who reveals herself to be her mother. Abandoned as a baby, she also discovers that she has a twin brother, now her sister Marisa, who owns a karaoke bar with a "refuge" spirit, which brings together an LGBTIQ+ audience, a completely new universe for Dulce. Dulce and Marisa demand that Beatriz reveal something about their unknown father and now set off together, back to the backlands, with two missions: to celebrate the victory of the quilombo and to find the father who never knew of his daughters' existence.
