It uses music as a call to the other world that forces the gods to come down to Earth. And this gradually moved from the sacred to the profane: a lot of South American music today (rumba, salsa, samba...) still uses the gods' favourite rhythms. This film takes the music as a starting point to enter the secret world of the religion, taking its farthest imprint, samba, to get to the traditional candomblé houses of Rio de Janeiro, where we will discover how man communicates with the gods through music, trance, dance and divination.
