Inspired by Castro Alves’ poetry, the narrative explores Brazil's late 1970s political, cultural, and intellectual landscape. Central to the story are four unique representations of Christ: a black man, a soldier, an indigenous person, and a guerrilla fighter. These heroes, seen as agents of change in their homeland, bravely oppose the relentless greed and brutal “civilizing” efforts of John Brahms, a morally bankrupt foreign exploiter. Their struggle highlights the clash between oppressive forces and the fight for justice, painting a vivid picture of resilience amid turmoil.
