Adaptation of the series shown in 1988. The humble farmer Zé do Burro makes a promise to Santa Bárbara to save his donkey Nicolau from death. The payment is to carry a heavy cross from the interior of Bahia to a church in Salvador. When you reach the steps of the church, with injured shoulders, you have to deal with the incomprehension of a conservative priest.
