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 act of deliverance is extremely dramatic. The Pastor loudly commands Satan to leave the body of the faithful. The liberation ends with the Purification, when the faithful dive into the sea and the Pastor confirms that they are pure again. On this day, the beach witnessed a merciless battle against evil, a fight waged with weapons that no human science can explain
