It’s an ordinary day when Percy Sampaio Camargo, an university professor from the state University of São Paulo, were accused of terrorism. Today, at his 75, he remembers that far 1969 that change completely in a few seconds his life. Exiled in Chile and then in Holland during the dictatorship years, he returns to Brazil after the amnesty in 1979. The film is a portray of the country and of a man that was destined to remain invisible but that strengthen his entire life – sacrificing his family and his possessions – for an ideal of democracy and social justice.
