A journey into the largest open-pit mine of our times. In 1980, friends Juliano and Joaquim leave São Paulo for the gold rush. They arrive at the Amazon Forest like thousands of other men, full of hope and illusions. But gold-digging changes everything. The obsession for wealth and power will destroys them. Juliano becomes a gangster. Joaquim leaves his values behind. A tale of the gold rush, about greed and violence. About a great friendship and its end. From director Heitor Dhalia (Drained, Adrift).
