A darkly comic, surreal satire where the Devil's arrival on Earth unleashes chaos and temptation, blending theological irreverence with Brazilian literary tradition.

The Devil himself comes to Earth to open his own church and the world becomes a pandemonium of delights and confusions. Based on a short story by Machado de Assis, the most famous realistic Brazilian writer of the XIX century.
