Full plot (contains spoilers)
José Luciano, freshly released from prison, is placed by his brother in a job as a house servant for the wealthy Alfreda. Alfreda is unhappy in her marriage to Bahia and develops the absurd desire to have a vision of the Virgin Mary and ask Mary some questions. Luciano is astonished: isn’t it enough for her to have expensive cars and countless costly outfits for every occasion? He is not the only one who suspects that Professor Heschel is behind this strange desire. The cunning swindler Filipe Quinta now comes up with a solution for Luciano, so that Alfreda can have her vision of the Virgin Mary and Luciano can finally put an end to Alfreda’s obsession. Meanwhile, Alfreda’s husband Bahia does nothing but listen to music, unconcerned. And so the souls of these rich people are now doomed to ruin.
