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.
