Six men with an ideal: to use a camera as an instrument to denounce and expose the evils of Brazilian prisons. Life inside makes the imagination of these ex-convicts take flight beyond the bars, using art as a potential instrument for social reconstruction. A docu-drama which addresses racism, prison, torture and the violation of civil rights while also crying for liberty, justice and the right to dream.

The film revolves around the fight for territorial control between drug traffickers and police forces and the devastating impact of this war on the lives of people living in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
