在这部艰辛岁月剧情片中,本片改编自巴西名著。一个民工家庭为富有的庄园主看管牲口，境况逐渐改善，但父亲被骗跟当地警察玩牌，引起争吵，遭到警察毒打。影片结束时，严重的乾旱迫使全家又上路寻找新的生活出路。本片充满了对弱者的人文关怀和对社会不公的抗议，标志着巴西“新电影运动”的启动。
A poor family in the Northeast of Brazil (Fabiano, the father; Sinhá Vitória, the mother; their 2 children and a dog called Baleia) wander about the barren land searching for a better place to live, with food and work. But the drought and misery destroy their hopes.
