However, before the house was built, the accompanying slaves were unable to bear the harsh conditions. She fled, and her husband also tragically died in the process of building a house. As a result, in the uninhabited desert, only Alia, mother, newborn daughter and a few black slaves living around were left.
Alia and her mother survived with amazing willpower, and began to have a good relationship with the scattered black slaves around, but Alia never gave up the hope of returning to civilized society, she hoped that her children When Maria grows up a little, she can walk out of the desert with her and return to the familiar life in the city.
Finally, Alia came across the scientific team who came to the desert to investigate, and after a long-lost night of passion with the soldier, the soldier promised to wait for her in the camp for three days, waiting for her to bring her family back to the city. However, when Alia went back happily and planned to tell the mother and child the good news, she found that the hut they built had been swallowed up by the moving quicksand, and the mother was buried in the quicksand forever. When Alia returned to the camp, she found that the building was already empty, and she stayed helpless again.
Many years have passed, and her daughter Maria has grown into a slim woman, just like Alia. Aliyah has long been accustomed to life in the desert and has formed a new family with a local black slave. The rebellious Maria is tired of the monotonous life around her, and yearns to leave the desert and yearn for the civilized world her mother said.

Alia begged the soldier to take Maria out of the desert, and the soldier agreed, but Alia chose to stay in her. By the voice of the black husband.
Many years have passed, and the middle-aged Maria returned to the desert to visit her mother. The two mother and daughter smiled at each other in the music brought by Alia...
This is a fable about the reincarnation of life. The whole movie takes the attitude of three generations of Alia, mother and daughter to the desert as a clue. At first, her mother asked her to leave, but she chose to support her husband and stayed; To leave; to accept the desert environment after the mother's death; finally to send her daughter away, but she finds out that the desert is the "home" she has always longed for; the change of attitude reflects the difference in the meaning of a woman's life to life stage perception. In fact, the mother-Alia-daughter is a cycle of reincarnation. The value of life is constantly generated, realized, and destroyed in this cycle. It may just be a change of environment and a way of changing.
The last Brazilian film that impressed me was "City of God", and together with "Central Station", these three films became the model of Brazilian cinema in my mind. In this film, the director made the whole movie scene elegant and beautiful, and the long shots from time to time perfectly presented the blue and yellow, sea and desert, ice and fire in the famous "Maranhão Quilt" National Park in Brazil. In front of the audience, and give people a shocking power that touches the soul. Personally, I always prefer this type of film, so I am very responsible to say: "The Sandbar Home" is worth watching.
