In the 1970's, 73,000 people were forced by military dictatorship to leave the Sobradinho region, in the Northeast of Brazil, for the construction of a hydroelectric plant - one of the largest forced migrations in the history of Brazil. Dona Pequenita was the only one to return. Living in a ghost town, she will be visited by three social workers who were responsible for persuading the population to leave at the time. Precious footage (newsreel, soap opera, Super 8 and photos) helps us tell this story
