Together they form a makeshift but close-knit family. But Brazil and the Northeast are changing and the region’s booming clothing industry has stirred new ambitions in Iremar. Swinging from his hammock in the back of the truck, his head is filled with dreams of pattern cutting, sequins and exquisite fabrics as he mentally assembles his latest sexy fashion designs.

In life, poor Raimundo da Silva never did anything that could be considered “special” in his short 20-year existance. In death, however, he would prove to be a whole different story. When his corpse ends up donated to a medical school anatomy lab, he receives the code M8 and is assigned to first-year student Mauricio. Mauricio, the only black student in his class, unexpectedly decides to give his object of study a proper burial. Sent to his home town for burial – a small, remote village in the heart of the country – Raimundo/M8 is then mistaken for a miracle by the superstitious, isolated community when he “magically” shows no sign of decomposition in spite of being dead for over a year. What follows is
Migdal Filmes
a series of serendipitous and magical events that take on a life of their own, as Raimundo/M8 now becomes a local phenomenon, and is manipulated into becoming a full-fledged saint by the powers that be – something that Mauricio is keen on stopping from happening.
