Episode 7
Pereira's assistant is in trouble in Alentejo, where he is recruiting for the International Brigade and he needs money. Troubled, Pereira goes to talk to his priest.
Pereira is troubled, by the repression in the country he loves, by his own reluctance to get involved and by his young assistant and his girlfriend who seem prepared to risk everything for a cause they believe in. After long talks about the soul with a doctor at a clinic in Parede, he goes to seek out his old friend Father Antonio to see what advice he can give.
