Synopsis : It is the last day of carnival at a favela in Rio de Janeiro, where gunshot sounds are incessant and the military presence is constant. Demétria is waiting for Cora, her only child, to come back home from school, but in the meantime a surprise police raid commences outside. As night falls and she struggles to hold on to the fading hopes of finding her daughter, Demétria will be visited by three characters – The Policeman, The Pastor and The Governor –, all of whom play different parts in a never-ending war.
