In the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s, Justino finds in a powerful neo-Pentecostal church the chance to escape poverty and change his life. His rapid rise and success as a pastor are marked by repressed desires, secrets, ambition, and betrayal. Fifteen years later, he seeks to settle the score with his past. Based on the book “Nos Bastidores do Reino” by Mário Justino.
