The last part of a Brazilian trilogy. Roberto do Nascimento, a journalist, returns after twenty-five years to his hometown of Ouro Preto, which he had to flee after getting too close to a small left-wing group. As the drama that took place there is slowly revealed, Roberto, confronted with his past, undergoes a strange and spectacular transformation, in a story divided like the stations of the cross.
