A poor ranch hand (Joaquim) is devastated when his boss sells his favorite cow, and so he decides to leave the ranch, and also his wife and his daughter, in search of a way to buy that animal back before it is put to death. He settles down at a small town where there is an excess of unmarried women.
Low-brow comedy. There are some vaguely surrealistic elements in the script, as well as a veiled denunciation of authoritarianism in the person of the local police chief. Gypsies are an important part of the film; they provide some social content and also some gaudy costumes to be captured by the very colorful cinematography.
