Sinopsis
João is 13-years-old and he lives in the outback. The bond between João and his father is broken. He has no friends and the people call him through the cruel nickname "Son of Ox". At the threshold of adolescence, João wants to escape from that place, where it does not seem to exist any possibility of fitting in. One day, a small circus arrives in the town and João develops a friendship with Shaggy Clown, who encourages him to face his fears. "Son of Ox" throws light on contemporary Brazil, revealing how the affections between men are woven in an extremely sexist society, a universe of masculinity and discrimination where is urgent to reinvent itself.
