Homenagem Ana Picasso

[albator]

Two Jesuit priests, Sebastião Rodrigues and Francisco Garrpe, travel to seventeenth century Japan which has, under the Tokugawa shogunate, banned Catholicism and almost all foreign contact.

Eventually the priests separate and Rodrigues travels the countryside, wondering why God remains silent while His children suffer.
