Best known for DONA FLOR AND HER TWO HUSBANDS, Barreto enters the complex world of politics, based on the true story of the 1969 kidnapping of the American ambassador to Brazil (Alan Arkin). A group of young and naive idealists join together to carry out an act of terrorism, their only means of giving voice to their progressive dreams and visions in a military regime. In this frank and substantial portrait of the idealism and naiveté that often is a part of revolutionary politics, Barreto delves candidly into the lives and emotions of each of the young terrorists, while treating his characters with compassion and humanity.
