      A heartwarming tale of love - lost and found. After walking for days across the harsh Brazilian Sertao, having been rejected by his family, Samuel finds his options for survival dwindling fast - until he comes across a 'vacant' statue, perfect to crawl into and hide... Whilst sheltering, Samuel realises that he can overhear the whispered prayers of the villagers who come to talk to Santo Antonio, and begins to wonder if he ought to help them out a little. His advice makes him famous, and people flock to the town to hear about their future loves. But soon he has more than just the lovelorn to deal with... A charming and magically told story.
