Synopsis

Satinho lives in a small village near the Amazon river. Twenty years ago he found the blood-soaked dress of his sister who had disappeared. He was considered a saint overnight and pilgrims have come to the village from far and wide to worship the shrine in the ‘The Year of the Dead Girl’. A colourful and baroque picture of an isolated community. —Cinema Novo Festival

Assistir a estréia de Nachtergaele como diretor de cinema é lembrar de "Iracema: uma transa amazônica", de Bodansky e Senna. Isso porque a história do rapaz que é santo no meio da floresta amazônica, além da locação, lida de forma envolvente com a população nativa, os ditos 'atores naturais', assim como na experiência de "Iracema". Fotografia, montagem e atuações fazem do filme uma realização instigante.
