In Portugal, he was a priest; in Brazil, a revolutionary. Alípio de Freitas moved from Bragança to São Luis do Maranhão in 1957. He left poverty to live in misery. The military coup in 1964, which deposed João Goulart, drove him out of the church and close to the comunists. Beyond the fighting character, the movie is an encounter space for dialogue with Alípio, who still fights till this day. Now with different tactics, but always with the same perseverance.
