Two sisters, Bethânia and Laura, reunite to discuss a family matter. They travel the roads of the Pernambuco hinterland in search of their father's body, Seu Lauro.

Ao Sabor das Cinzas (Led by the Ashes) is a magical realism piece about the collapse of communication and grief conveyed in real time.
