Máximo Leonel throws an extravagant celebration on one of his farms and brings in Laura, the most sought-after courtesan in São Paulo, so that young Alexandre can become a man, but at the decisive hour the boy vanishes. Fifty years on, someone is spraying slogans such as 'God is dead' on the baroque churches of Ouro Preto, and Davi, a reporter who once wrote about the sculptor Aleijadinho, senses the attacks concern him. His inquiry leads through seminaries, brothels, sleeper trains and sickbeds, to Greece and Mexico City and into the cells of the military regime.
