On a deserted beach, a group of believers gather to perform the Cult of Liberation, to be freed from the evil spirits that have taken hold of them. The Liberation ends with the purification, when the faithful dive into the sea and the Pastor confirms that they are pure again. Before being immersed in the purifying waters, the believer attentively listens to the Shepherd's final invocation, calling for God's presence to testify that he has finally been liberated.
