Overview

One of the greatest classics of Brazilian literature, Barren Lives (Vidas Secas) by Graciliano Ramos, depicts the harsh reality of a family of migrants in the Northeastern semi-arid lands, facing a relentless drought and the struggle for survival. Fabiano, his wife Ms. Victoria, their two children, and the dog Whale cross dry landscapes in search of provision, carrying hopes and suffering amidst poverty.
