Iremar在巴西东北部的一个牛仔竞技场Vaqujadas工作。他与同事Galega同住在运送动物进行表演的卡车上，Galega是一名异国舞者，同时也是这个“家”的司机和年轻活泼的Cacá和Zé的母亲。当地蓬勃发展的服装产业在Iremar心中唤起了他新的志向。他在卡车后面的吊床上起舞，满脑是图案剪裁、亮片和精美的面料，他梦想着，在头脑里搭配着他的精心设计……

Iremar works at the Vaquejadas. Home is the truck used to transport the animals from show to show, which he shares with his co-workers; Galega, an exotic dancer, the truck driver and mother to the young & spirited Cacá, and Zé.

Swinging in his hammock in the back of the truck, his head is filled with dreams of pattern cutting, sequins and exquisite fabrics as he mentally assembles elaborate new fashion designs…
