    • Synopsis
    • In an occupied land belonging to an indebted sugarcane processing plant in bankruptcy process, the Landless Workers Movement (MST) fights to press the government into making land reform and settling the families encamped. While conservative forces connected to big rural landowners gain more space than ever in the country - and promise to hunt them down - Gradma, PC, and their encamped fellows dream of self-determination and reinvention in their refuge spot of agro-ecological growth, deep political reflection, and emancipated resilience against changing times and politics.
