非常棒的一部有关复仇与爱情的影片，类似西部片的史诗风格，讲述一个发生在巴西东北部的悲剧故事。主要是剧本好，改编自赫赫有名的巴西诗意现实主义作家罗萨的作品，他被认为是巴西最伟大的小说家之一。影片获柏林电影节金熊奖提名。 In Northeast Brazil, after carrying out some comissioned killing, hitman returns home to find his wife involved with a man who is a hitman hunter. A conflict ensues. Unable to endure the idea that he would go without punishment, a criminal's victim chases him the length and breadth of Brazil for a showdown.
