About the film
During the strange rituals of his father’s cult, Júnior is covered with a long veil and pretends to communicate with the dead. The transgression of a disillusioned congregant awakens the mediumship of Júnior's teenage sister, who, possessed by an entity, urges him to challenge their father’s authority.
