Octavio Medeiros returns to her family's hacienda in Sao Paulo after studying engineering in Germany. With new ideas, she wants to modernize farming and rejects slavery in front of her father, Commandant Medeiros. Her cousin, who gives money to the abolitionist movement, has a secret that makes the commandant tremble. He is a domineering man who not only thinks he can control his slaves and keep things the way they are, but he also feels he can marry off his children without their consent. This classic of Brazilian literature brilliantly shows the clash between generations and their ways of thinking.
