The film begins in Egypt, in a ritual in which Phobus (Ivaldo Selva), in front of a stone altar decorated with diabolical statues and surrounded by dozens of men and women who hold torches and wear black hoods, sacrifices a young dancer, sticking a knife in her chest. Then, “jump” to the 1960s, when young Tânia, newly married to Alexandre runs over Flávio (Ivaldo Selva again) in front of a newsstand.
