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.

Une version peu conformiste de l'Inconfidência Mineira à la fin du XVIII siècle. Situé à Ouro Prēto (État du Minas Gerais), autrefois Vila Rica, sur les lieux mêmes du drame, le film retrace le tragique destin du dentiste Tiradentes (en français « l'arracheur de dents »), accusé d'être le cerveau d'une conspiration indépendantiste contre la couronne portugaise. Étant le seul à assumer ses responsabilités dans la rébellion contre le pouvoir colonial, il fut pendu et son corps écartelé. De nos jours, Tiradentes est désormais considéré comme un martyr de l'Indépendance. Tous les 21 avril, le peuple brésilien rend hommage à son sacrifice et des pièces de monnaie sont également frappées à son effigie.
