Trapped in a love triangle between his childhood best friend and his friend's wife, Camilo, a young man in love, but skeptical, decides to consult a mysterious fortune teller after receiving suspicious notes, which he believes are from his lover's husband. With a simply breathtaking ending, Machado de Assis describes in his ironic way the pitfalls of fate and the comfort of cheap charlatanism.
