There are desires that neither imprisonment nor torture can suppress: freedom and justice. There are concepts that keep us whole even in extreme situations of pain and humiliation: friendship and solidarity. The film features unpublished testimonies from former-President Dilma Rousseff and her cell mates from Tiradentes Prison, in São Paulo, in a group memory exercise carried out by women who believe that resistance is still the only way to remain free.
