Nzailu and Dara work as slaves building what will become Brazil. Their love is impossible: they come from rival African tribes, the Bantus and the Nagô.
Immaterial Beings influence the course of events. Divinities are at work from a parallel and invisible world where Shakespeare's magical realm meets the world of the Orixás, the Gods of the African animist religion, known as Candomblé in Brazil.
