"The story of Portuguese Father Antonio Vieira, considered one of the best Portuguese writers and killed in the inquisition for his stance against slavery and colonialism. The film is experimental in style, with meticulous photography that reminds one of paintings of the period, and a screenplay that is consistently built around the writer’s own words, with long and beautiful monologues."
