An elementary school teacher, Lídia, is placed in an isolated village in the mountains and on the first day of school the doctor informs her that she will have to go away with the priest for three days. These will be the three godless days of the title, in which the young teacher will meet the lord of the hill, Paulo Belforte, who is feared by the whole village for allegedly setting fire to the church and for having tried to murder his own wife. Due to a series of misunderstandings, the villagers turn against Lídia and Belforte, to the point where at the end there is a torchlight procession to purify the diabolical events of Casal de Lobos.
