Helena and Renato are a couple who leave behind the big city to live in the comfort of a beach house and help Helena recover from her nervous crises. But soon she begins to suffer from increasingly worrying hallucinations, and the house’s mystery appliances begin to come to life. Is it all real or in her head?

The miseries perpetrated by three tyrants who arrive in the city of Beauvais during the time of religious conflicts in France, and the consequent fear of the town's inhabitants, are depicted through the painting by the French painter Antoine Caron (1520-1598). The work is part of the Nitrates Project of the Brazilian Cinematheque.
