Synopsis

Marilson is a volunteer in an evangelical church project to prevent suicides on a large bridge in Natal (RN). This does not prevent Guilherme, an atheist, from jumping off the bridge and, however unlikely, surviving. We are ten years in the future. A sect arises and its followers start to camp in front of Guilherme's building. Marilson becomes the leader of these people and William begins to perform false miracles, convincing everyone of his powers, until he himself no longer distinguishes between fact and fiction.
