- 21 long takes portray moments of the night of the Rua Maria Antônia Battle, which occurred in October 1968, and the students and professors connected to the Movimento Estudantil de Esquerda (Left-wing student activism), at the University of São Paulo Faculty of Philosophy in a final night. The characters face the attacks of the Command of Communist Hunting from across the street, at Mackenzie University. When the conflict erupts, screams, molotov cocktails, stones, sticks and homemade bombs are thrown. 24 hours lived with the passion of the 60s youth, defending a dream, in an imminent invasion of military forces to the University of São Paulo building.
