Maria is an illiterate young girl who lives in the interior of northeastern Brazil. She is sold by her fisherman father to be employed as a housemaid for a wealthy businessman and his son. After being purchased, Maria is resold to a brothel located near a gold mining town in the Amazon rainforest. After months suffering with other girls, Maria runs away and hitchhikes across Brazil.
