en Cuevana. Around 1927, Dionísio, a young priest from the region of Minho, is sent to serve in Carregosa, a village in the Alentejo region, whose church lies almost in ruins. Conceição, the daughter of the sacristan Carriço, falls in love with him. In his rudimentary mysticism, Dionísio fails to understand the people’s profound connection to the land and to Mother Nature, firmly rejecting Carriço’s desperate plea that he abandon the priesthood and marry Conceição, to whom he administers the last rites. Later, Conceição recovers and marries Joaquim Castilho, a wealthy farmer who had long adored her.
