A Roman Catholic Monsignor arrives to attempt to resolve the conflict, but after he enters the temple to inspect it he deems it sacrilege and angrily leaves in disgust, so the demolition is carried out. Their church is about to be bulldozed at the behest of the landowner, and the followers make one last stand against the police and the bulldozers. Orgo carries on a very public flirtation with the tattooed woman, and their knife-throwing act is heavily sexualized.Ĭoncha is also the leader of a religious cult that considers as its patron saint a girl who was raped and had her arms cut off by two brothers. The circus crew also includes, among others, a tattooed woman, who acts as the object of Orgo's knife-throwing feats, her adopted daughter Alma (a deaf mute mime and tightrope walker whom Fenix is close to), Fenix's dwarf friend Aladin, a pack of clowns and an elephant. Years ago, Fenix spends his time performing as a "child magician" in a circus run by his father Orgo, the knife-thrower, and his mother Concha, a trapeze artist and aerialist. As the nurses get him to put on some overalls, it is shown that he has a tattoo of a phoenix on his chest. Nurses come out to him, to try to coax him off of his perch, using a plate of raw fish to persuade him to come down. The film starts with a naked figure sitting in a tree in a mental asylum.
