The documentary shows the Maestro's entry into the Santa Marcelina Music College, where he met the friends with whom he would form Angra, and questions asked more than 20 years ago that had never been commented on will be answered. These are relevant statements by Andre himself, Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt, who talk about the misunderstanding between them and the consequent departure of the singer from the band. Drummer Marco Antunes, who is speaking publicly about Angra for the first time, tells how things started to fall apart right at the beginning of the band.
