Period piece about a Brazil that is no more. The movie is the sequel to God & The Devil In The Land Of The Sun and takes place 29 years after Antonio Das Mortes killed Corisco (The Blonde Devil) last of the Cangaceiros. In 'the old days' Antonio's function in life was to exterminate these bandits on account of his personal grudges against them. His life had been meaningless for the last 29 years but now a new challenge awaits him. When a Cangaceiro appears in Jardim Das Piranhas the local land Baron (Jofre Soares) an old man does what seems obvious to him; he calls... on Antonio Das Mortes killer of Cangaceiros. At first Antonio is ecstatic. His life has regained some meaning. But soon it becomes obvious that this new Cangaceiro (named Coirana) is no Corisco but an idealist. An idealist of the sixties in the garb of the forties. A leader to the hopeless and the hungry. Antonio Das Mortes begins to reconsider his feelings towards Coirana and his followers. [show more]

Brazilian director Glauber Rocha's sequel to his 1964 film 'Black God, White Devil'. Mauricio do Valle reprises his role as outlaw warrior Antonio das Mortes, whose wandering life is given new direction when he lands a job as a jagunco (hired killer) for a powerful landowner in Jardim Das Piranhas. Doing what he does best, he soon tracks down and kills the remaining members of the local bandit gang - but realises too late that his battle should have been against the exploitative landowning classes rather than the dispossessed countryfolk.
