Antonio, a young catholic priest at Vila Daires, a little village in the northern mountain range of Portugal, has an encompassing love for everybody, devout and miscreants alike. Lena, a young single mother who lived in Lisbon several years, returns to her home after serving time for drugs possession and consumption. Antonio tries to help Lena re-start her life, but her beauty wakens his inner demons, and he gets in the middle of a racist rejection of a gypsy tribe by the villagers, who accuse them of being drug pushers and the priest of helping them.—Artemis-9
