- Sebastian, a novice in a post-apocalyptic Brazilian monastery, prepares to be ordained while struggling with intense doubts. Before priesthood, he must confess his greatest secrets: his rape as a child and the passion he has for another monk. He turns to penance and martyrdom to relieve his guilt.
- Antero and Maria Araújo's story is the shortcut chosen by the director to show life in Maraima, a small town in the state of Ceará, Brazil, including life in community and the military influence. Maria wanders through the state praying to ward off the symbolical presence of the Dragon. That's when she finds Antero, an end-of-the-world prophet, who will join her in her pilgrimage and fight against the mythical being.
- This unique, insider's view of Umbanda, the fastest-growing religion in Brazil, shows the cult's raucous pageantry and public festivals as well as its more esoteric, exotic, and rarely-seen ceremonies. A blending of Catholicism with traditional African and Native American religions, Umbanda is characterized by ritualistic sacrifices and offerings and altered states of consciousness described by devotees as possession by supernatural beings. Includes commentary by numerous authorities and practitioners, but focuses on one Painho or Pai de Santo (Father of the gods), who introduces and explains many different aspects of Umbanda.
