Instead of proceeding with the ceremony, she flees to a brothel at the Maravilhoso Hotel in the Belo Horizonte red-light district. She soon becomes the city's most famous prostitute, known as Hilda Hurricane. Her life becomes complicated when she falls in love with Malthus, a young novice who is considered a saint.
