- Synopsis
The British Cemetery in Bahia was inaugurated in 1814, and citizens of English origin and their descendants living in the Brazilian state of Bahia are reserved for burial. In light of the sanitary tragedy that has been taking place in the country since the beginning of 2019, two men born in Bahia, one black and the other mestizo, do a DNA test in order to discover possible English ancestry, so that they can “qualify” to a future burial in the cemetery with the most beautiful view of the city.
