The town is located in a remote valley 60 miles east of Belo Horizonte.
These women are on the lookout for a few good men.
The hitch is that the men cannot stay over for the night because this town is a strictly ‘no-man’s land’ – the only men who can stay over are their sons who are aged under 18. Once they attain that age, they must move away.
The husbands of the townswomen who live in the idyllic town in the state of Minas Gerais, have to work far away and are only allowed to return for the weekend.
The reason is rooted in history.
The town was founded way back in the 1890s – at that time, a woman accused of adultery was excommunicated by the Catholic Church, was thrown out of her home and she relocated there.
Other women in the region who were shunned for different reasons followed her, and, after multiple attempts over the decades by men to intervene, the women adopted the policy that literally made the town a “No Man’s Land.” The girls, all single ladies, want to let down their hair and find true love, but they do not want to change their way of life – hence, a big stalemate.
