The film was shot in a village in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, near Uruguay. The script is simple and quite interesting. The story shows the conflicting and disconcerting relationship between daughter and father. The cast is quite amateur; the protagonist has talent, but still has a lot of maturing to do.

The film showcases the Gaucho culture and the discovery of love and sexuality. It also leaves the ambiguous relationship between father and daughter unresolved.
