Dans un asile d'aliénés, loin de la Divine Comédie de Dante, des personnes se croisent, hallucinées ou lucides, rejouant des textes littéraires ou philosophiques. Certains se prennent pour des figures bibliques, Adam et Ève, Jésus, Lazare, Marie, d'autres pour des personnages de romans, Raskolnikov, Ivan Karamazov, ou encore Frédéric Nietzsche... Oliveira développe là une réflexion sur le temps présent et ses valeurs.
