A darkly comic Brazilian fable about faith, resurrection, and small-town politics that blends absurdist humor with spiritual themes and regional character.

After 20 years missing, João Grilo returns to Taperoá to join his old friend Chicó and, after his story of resurrection spreads, he is disputed as an electoral candidate by the two most powerful politicians in the city.
