Danilo is a theatre director obsessed with the injustice committed against the farmer Manoel da Motta Coqueiro, in a case that initiated the process of extinction of the death penalty in Brazil. Spurred by a mysterious, beautiful woman, Danilo begins to rehearse a play about the life of Motta Coqueiro, where he plays the farmer, and the remaining characters are experienced by psychiatric patients.
