Upon learning of his mother's death, Thomas returns to Brazil with his partner Beni. They are told that Thomas has inherited a country house from a grandmother he never knew. Intrigued by this connection to his family history, they visit the house and are warmly welcomed by two aunts who treat Thomas like their long-lost child. As Thomas becomes increasingly enchanted with the place, Beni starts to suspect that something sinister lies beneath the surface of their quiet country life.

With elements of melodrama and queer horror, 'A Herança' promises to be a unique addition to the Latin horror genre.
