Synopsis

As they excavate the premises of DOI-Codi, the main apparatus of repression during Brazil’s military dictatorship, a group of archaeologists unearths some of the darkest chapters in the country’s history. Interwoven with the excavations, archival materials and silenced stories evoke the political memory of the era and the dreams of a nation.
