This collection of eight stories delves into lethal injections and free will; a man who mistakes organ traffickers for benevolent angels; a party that continues with a dead guest; a championship involving dwarfs; a very peculiar version of the Romeo and Juliet story; and a brotherhood of men united by an ascetic sexuality... In other words, it covers a wide variety of situations and characters. Paulo E. Miranda based the story Anjos das Marquises for the creation of a short film.
