Ce documentaire nous emmène à Mangueira, le quartier de Rio où la samba est reine. Loin du carnaval et des touristes, on y découvre la vraie samba et les liens qu’entretiennent avec elle les Brésiliens au quotidien. Ce sont les femmes qui parlent : Celina, abandonnée par son mari, qui retrouve la joie de vivre dans son groupe de samba ; Tania Bisteca, à qui son titre de reine a donné un statut social ; Ivete, âgée de 76 ans et prête à rejoindre le Très-Haut puisqu’elle a dansé tout son saoul. Toutes sont d’accord sur un point : la samba, ça ne s’apprend pas. Comme le rythme, l’énergie et la passion, on l’a dans le sang.

Zé do Burro (Leonardo Villar) is a landowner from Nordeste. His best friend is a donkey. When his donkey falls terminally ill, Zé promises to a Candomblé orisha, Iansan, that if his donkey recovers, he will give away his land to the poor and carry a cross all the way from his farm to the Saint Bárbara Church in Salvador, Bahia, where he will offer the cross to the local priest. Upon the recovery of his donkey, Zé leaves on his journey. The movie begins as Zé, followed by his wife Rosa (Glória Menezes), arrives outside the church. The local priest (Dionísio Azevedo) refuses to accept the cross once he hears about Zé's "pagan" pledge and the reasons behind it. Everyone attempts to manipulate the innocent and naïve Zé. The local Candomblé worshippers, for example, want to use him as a leader against the discrimination they suffer from the Roman Catholic Church. The sensationalist newspapers transform his promise to give away his land into a "communist" call for land reform (which still is a very controversial issue in Brazil). When Zé is shot by the police to prevent his way into the church, the Candomblé worshippers put his dead body on the cross and force their way into the church.
