Casa de Cinema de Olinda

A tragedy occurs during a performance by an artistic troupe. And this episode redefines the lives of two sisters. Both live with the ghosts of what happened while a shepherd tries to expand his flock.

Two sisters, Bethânia and Laura, reunite to discuss a family matter. They travel the roads of the Pernambuco hinterland in search of their father's body, Seu Lauro. At home, Bethânia's daughter edits a video in which the living and the dead become intertwined in a game of silences and revelations. Ao Sabor das Cinzas (Led by the Ashes) is a magical realism piece about the collapse of communication and grief conveyed in real time.
