Synopsis
One day on the Tietê River an enormous white barge appears carrying a strange, beautiful woman. Eventually, the barge and the woman disappear, but the lives of two men and two women have been profoundly altered. Two relationships develop, and one by one the men and women involved die because of love. The barge and the woman appear again and receive them on board, sailing away quietly to an unknown place.
