Fortune takes four human beings to the last frontier of passion, where love becomes divine. Like a comet, Rafael, the traveler, appears at the party for the patron saint of a small town in the interior of Minas Gerais. He is the one who brings passion and crime, then vanishes, leaving a poetic feeling in the air--which is always deadly to the ones who stay. Mrs. Ana de Lara, a proud, rich widow, and Missy, a child whose beauty and innocence are like the Tiê-Sangue, a red bird, are the traveler's victims. There is also Master Juca do Vale, a criminal whose passion turns him incredibly human, in this story of love, death, forgiveness, and resurrection.—luiza do brasil
