The sequel to Finis Hominis (The End of Man) finds the good side of José Mojica Marins, Finis Hominis, leaving the mental ward yet again to set the world right. The last time he got out, he almost became a world leader. This time, he wants to do something easier: fix all of the social, religious and political unrest in the world.
How would he do this? Well, start small. He walks throughout the streets of Brazil and stops the war between two criminals, Skull and Chico, by stealing Skull's son and making them work together. The people in another community go wild and decide to bring Satan back in a cemetery, even eating live chickens -- yes, do not doubt the animal deaths in the movies of Italy or Brazil -- and drinking their blood right out of their necks until Finnis Hommis stops it all, as well as a wedding, then the doctors realize that he's loose. The footage also goes from black and white to color seemingly at will and probably based on what film stock and cameras Marin could get that day.
It's sad that Coffin Joe and Finnis Hommis didn't ever battle -- maybe inside Marins' brain? -- because they would have just yelled at one another about morality and the ways of mankind.
