Passages from the life of former Alagoan senator Teotônio Vilela, with emphasis on the process of his formation as a public figure, from his childhood as a mill boy to the final stage, with his famous campaign for the democratic restoration of the country. At this point, he was a man on the brink of death, already victimized by the cancer that would kill him.

João Goulart (known as Jango) had been democratically elected president of Brazil, but was expelled from office after the coup of April 1, 1964. After that, Jango lived in exile in Argentina, where he died in 1976. The circumstances of his death in the neighboring country were not well explained today. His body was buried immediately after his death, raising the suspicions of premeditated murder. This documentary brings the issue back to the fore and tries to publicly clarify some obscure facts of the history of Brazil.

The daily routine of a women's Republic in the late days of 1963 and early 1964 - before the military coup - is presented from the perspective of several characters, and the place's owner who is about to sell the house to an international company who wants to build a mall in the place.
