Telmo, a former political prisoner, now a retired theater director, realizes he does not remember important people and episodes from his past. Decides to set up a play and, with shreds of memory, the text will improvise with his young cast. Thus, Telmo plunges into its own history and the history of Brazil, involving its militancy and subsequent arrest by the military dictatorship, and turns out for himself and for all, what's so painful, he preferred to forget. The elucidation is terrible, but healing.
