Three mestizos from the city of Salvador and Recôncavo Bahia, here called caboquinhos, narrate their memories, notions and perspectives on their Afro-indigenous lineages in a Brazil plagued by the genocide of the black population and original peoples, since the period of colonization. At the same time, the documentary revisits memories and ritualistic movements where dance is linked to the sacred, based on the re-imagination of caboclos, mixed-race deities between these two subjugated peoples.
