Having a farmland artisan (Severo) in the framing story as the narrator, this anthology, consisting of four tales (rather unusual for modern Brazilian standards), starts out with a tragicomedy of sorts depicting the meeting of a down-to-his-luck backwater fisherman with Brazilian mythological figure Iara, the Mother Water (Pillar) which turns out to change his luck. As this is the story in the whole film that makes use of CGI the most, you can tell that, though a nice effort, the digital flooding, for instance, is not that convincingly real, to say the least.
