About

Maldito, a somewhat clumsy young man with the face of an angel returns to Mercês, the small city from his childhood that’s hidden in Minas Gerais’ mountains in Brazil. He comes back as he does every year to enter the Death’s Globe, the mythical motorcycle competition, which happens during Carnaval. Bewitched without his knowledge or will by the demon Iara, Maldito falls madly and dangerously in love with Bébé, a boy who has just arrived in the city to work in the mines. Throughout the six days and six nights of Carnaval, under the scorching Brazilian summer, Maldito and his friends become irrevocably entangled with the demons who reside in Mercês.
