During her first three days, she meets Paulo Belfort, a man feared in the village, whom the locals say is possessed by the devil and has both murdered his wife and set fire to the church. Lídia then learns the true circumstances of the reclusive Belfort family, which earns her the village community’s distrust and growing rejection. Misunderstandings turn that distrust into open hatred.
