One day, Alberto Paiva, a writer, is wounded and while delirious enters into the romance of his current book. Now he is blackmailed by his characters that want their destinies changed and refuse the ones he has decided for them.

Taking place in 1870 in the still fledgling Brazilian Empire, Procuro teu auxílio para enterrar um homem tells the story of a mixed-race soldier, a cigana woman in mourning, and an elder bruxa on the tangled path they all walk. Exploring themes of sexuality, ethnicity and race and their implicit and explicit relationship to power, the film is a period piece that pierces to the core of issues that are deeply contemporary.
