Television is their enemy as they go from the coast deep into the Amazon. Salomè lets the accordion player sleep with her once, with Dasdè's knowledge. He's moon-struck. Then, after Dasdè's baby is born and financial disaster hits the troupe, and the accordionist must choose between seeing his wife a prostitute and leaving the caravan.
