The film is based on the novel Memórias do Distrito de Diamantina, written by João Felicio dos Santos (who has a small role in the film as a Roman Catholic pastor). It is a romanticized retelling of the true story of Chica da Silva, an 18th-century African slave in the state of Minas Gerais, who attracts the attention of João Fernandes de Oliveira, a Portuguese sent by Lisbon with the Crown's exclusive contract for mining diamonds, and eventually becomes his lover. He quickly asserts control, letting the intendant and other authorities know that he's onto their corruption scheme. Eventually Lisbon hears of João's excesses and sends an inspector. José, a political radical, provides Xica refuge.

In the film's first portion, filmed in B&W, Dr. Sergio, a psychiatrist, appears on a television program on a panel with three other contemporary psychiatrists after he claims to have conducted experiments on four volunteer drug addicts with LSD in order to investigate his claim that sexual perversion is caused by use of illegal drugs. As evidence, he presents a series of documented accounts of drug use which lead to lewd and bizarre sexual acts. Marins appears (as himself) on the panel with the psychiatrists as some type of expert on the subject of depravity.

À Milagres, un village du Nordeste brésilien, un groupe de paysans affamés risquent de mettre à sac le magasin d'un notable. Un détachement de soldats est envoyé afin de prévenir d'éventuels troubles. Pour conjurer le mauvais sort, d'autres villageois se livrent, sous la direction d'un prêtre, à des rites superstitieux. Par ailleurs, un soldat, en état d'ébriété, commet un homicide en essayant de ramener de l'ordre dans un groupe de paysans en colère. Gaúcho, un conducteur de camion, s'insurge, pour sa part, contre l'attitude d'un villageois acceptant passivement le décès de sa fille, morte d'inanition. Il incite aussi les paysans à la révolte. Mais, la moindre tentative de sédition sera sévèrement réprimée.
