Roupas Sujas

With the mother gone, a family on a farm in the far south of Brazil has to live with her absence. The harshness of the household, its strict morals and the wild force of nature pull against each other, and every character carries that conflict in some way. Much is left unsaid: a word swallowed by the anxious son or the silent father hints at secrets that can be hidden but never put to rest.
