Rosa, a Mozambican peasant, is accused of driving her husband to suicide: some say she was possessed by the spirit of a man who made her disobey her husband. During the funeral, in a letter just discovered and read aloud before the assembly, her late husband declares his last wishes: he asks that the five children he had with Rosa be entrusted to his twin brother to keep them away from the woman who ruined his life. To prove her innocence, recover her children and the few material goods that the couple owned, Rosa submits to the rulings of a healer-witchdoctor and a court. In both cases, she is acquitted. But Rosa must be guilty. To preserve a family secret, her in-laws decide to take the law into their own hands. Their vengeance is terrible.
