Em 1663, o Padre António Vieira é chamado a Coimbra para comparecer diante do Tribunal do Santo Ofício, a terrível Inquisição. As intrigas da corte e uma desgraça passageira enfraquecem a sua posição de célebre pregador jesuíta e amigo íntimo do falecido rei D. João VI. Perante os juizes, o Pade António Vieira revê o seu passado: a juventude no Brasil e os anos de noviciado na Bahia, a sua ligação à causa dos índios e os seus primeiros sucessos no púlpito.
Impedido de falar pela Inquisição, o pregador refugia-se em Roma, onde a sua reputação e êxito são tão grandes que o Papa concorda em não o retirar da sua jurisdição. Mas as saudades do seu país são mais fortes e Vieira regressa a Portugal. Só que a frieza do acolhimento do novo rei, D. Pedro, fazem-no partir de novo para o Brasil onde passa os últimos anos da sua vida.
