To the sound of the song "A terra a quem a trabalha", an Alentejo peasant girl is attacked by a vampire, only to be saved in extremis by workers and peasants armed with scythes and hammers. Shot during the 1977 Festa do Avante, with a collective of participants linked to cinema and theatre, this film is a scathing critique of the legislative process led by António Barreto, Minister of Agriculture between 1976–1978, which put an end to land reform occupations.
