The Given Word

In a humble and impoverished community, Zé cherishes his donkey as his most valuable asset. When misfortune strikes and his loyal companion falls critically ill, Zé makes an earnest plea to Saint Bárbara for salvation. To his delight, the donkey recovers, prompting Zé to fulfill his promise of carrying a cross on a pilgrimage mirroring Jesus' own journey. As he embarks on this arduous journey towards Saint Bárbara's church in the state capital, Zé navigates through challenges and discoveries that ultimately reshape his understanding of faith and sacrifice. However, upon reaching the destination, a cold-hearted priest refuses to acknowledge the significance of Zé's act, thus confronting him with an unexpected challenge that questions the true meaning behind devotion and the power of belief.
