Synopsis
"Sônia dreams of becoming a singer on National Radio and to make money she prostitutes herself with tourists in Copacabana. Her brother Vidimar, a domestic to Dr. Grilo and a homosexual, falls in love with his boss. The mother of Sônia and Vidimar, a shanty town dweller, believes they are both possessed by the devil. Sônia, who sees spirits being invoked in the weirdest beings and objects, decides to seek out the father of Santo Joãozinho da Goméia. And, in order to break the spell on her brother (she also believes he is under a spell), sees only one way out: to kill Dr. Grilo. Going to the house where her brother works, she lets herself be seduced by Grilo. Finally, the spell on Vidimar is broken, who is left in a desperate panic at everything that has happened."
