For that, he went looking for the biggest Brazilian name in this subject, César Lattes, professor of Nuclear Physics at UNICAMP.

With little money, armed with his creative ability, Roberto builds a 'spaceship' and a studio in the backyard of his house. He calls children, relatives and friends and begins production on “Nuclear Shelter”, which is released in 1981.
