Plot Summary

Driven by the overwhelming desire to have a son to continue his bloodline, blasphemous Zé do Caixão, the wicked undertaker of a tight-knit, God-fearing Brazilian village, sets his mind on finding the perfect woman to bear his child. And having grown tired of his infertile wife Lenita, the despicable mortician sets his sights on impregnating his best friend Antonio's girlfriend Terezinha, and no one can stand in his way. But as innocents die left and right, judgement comes upon Zé on the Day of the Dead in the shape of a local fortune-teller, and nothing can stop revenge--not even the cold, dark grave.
