Synopsis:
Twelve year old Mauro goes to his grandfather’s house to Săo Paulo and his parents tell him that he will spend some time there while they take a vacation. The truth is completely different: it is the 1970’s and Mauro’s parents are political activists on the run from the dictatorship government. On the day of Mauro’s arrival his grandfather dies and so Mauro has to stay with the neighbor Shlomo.
