Just as Bernardo, a 16-year-old boy living in rural Brazil, is used to the monotonous routine of life after the deaths of both his father and best friend, an old acquaintance comes back into town. This person's presence reawakens his traumatic memories of loss and death. Bernardo finds solace in Bob Dylan's raw harmonies and honest lyrics and when he hears that Dylan is playing nearby, he finds a new direction in life.
