Plot:
In the 1870s, Jacobina, daughter of German immigrants to southern Brazil, starts to break with both the Catholic and Lutheran churches to preach physical healing through soul cleansing. After having a divine vision and speaking with Jesus, she suddenly changes her look and usual ways, disturbing the local, ultra-conservative population. After the death of a "mucker" and two others opposing her sect, the local authorities decide to act against her and her followers.
