The lands of the small town of Santa Rosa dos Ventos hold many surprises and, for Maria Amália Campelo, it is not very different. She is a spirited young woman who grew up on one of the farms in the region. Used to dealing with horses and oxen, she has only one dream: to become the first woman to compete in the Pawn of Boiadeiro race in Barretos and to become a winner among men. Even under all the adversity surrounding her, including the lack of support from her father; the passion she nurtures for her best friend and the contempt of an arrogant pawn, she is determined to go all the way and, with a lot of courage, fulfill her dream and prove to everyone that she is much more than a girl with a bow tie and boots.
