A man has his routine reduced to his monotonous work and the suspicious relationship with his wife, until objects, places and people mysteriously disappear, making his life more interesting and, at the same time, dangerous.

Vicente, a tax collector, is sent to a distant region to defy the dominion of Melo, a powerful landowner.

Carvalho orders the soldiers to invade Melo's land, which prompts the start of a full-blown war.
