Synopsis:
Moved by ideals of freedom, Dominican friars decide to stand up to the military dictatorship. That experience will change them forever. The film is based on biographical records of father Betto, about his life and the lives of his fellow priests and associates, Tito, Fernando and Ivo. During the military dictatorship in Brazil, which lasted from 1964 to 1985, they helped the leftists fight against the authorities until their arrest, when they were brutally tortured.
