A passionate, morally fraught romance between a priest and a young woman in a conservative small town, caught between desire and spiritual duty.

In a small town in Minas Gerais, the arrival of a young priest causes a commotion in the conservative atmosphere of the place, aggravated by the sudden attraction this priest feels for a beautiful girl. This forbidden love affair soon turns into an unbridled passion.
