The Martins family are optimistic dreamers, quietly leading their lives in the margins of a major Brazilian city following the disappointing inauguration of a far-right extremist president. A lower-middle-class Black family, they feel the strain of their new reality as the political dust settles. Tércia, the mother, reinterprets her world after an unexpected encounter leaves her wondering if she’s cursed. Her husband, Wellington, puts all of his hopes into the soccer career of their son, Deivinho, who reluctantly follows his father’s ambitions despite secretly aspiring to study astrophysics and colonize Mars. Meanwhile, their older daughter, Eunice, falls in love with a free-spirited young woman and ponders whether it’s time to leave home.
卡索(约翰尼·德普 Johnny Depp 饰)着迷于收藏离奇古怪的珍稀书籍。这种才华令富翁巴尔坎(弗兰克·兰格拉 Frank Langella 饰)大为赏识。他派给卡索一个艰巨的任务——寻找一本叫《第九道门》的古书,并鉴定他手中那本的真假。这本书在世界上仅存3本,剩下的两本,分别流落到了葡萄牙和法国。
传说,只要通读此书,就可以召唤魔鬼的到来。卡索开始了曲折而又魔幻的寻找历程。他探访了书的原主人之妻、古籍修缮专家、遇上绿眼珠的神秘女人,期间他朋友的暴毙竟然跟书里的插图如出一辙,命案还在连连上演。原来,书中所带的咒语,恐怕会使得拥有者无一幸免。而如果三本书合在了一起,就会迎来邪恶的撒旦。而到底最终魔鬼的脸有没有出现?
