Ten stories or one. Ten moments in the timeline: 1972, 1999, 1550, 2083, 1891, 2012, 1618, and the same reality: violence giving the final face to relations in Brazil. A slave revolt on a coffee plantation, the torture of a Native, the kidnapping of an ambassador, Jews hiding from the Inquisition, a tortured woman who sees her torturer in the audience to whom she tells of the crime committed by him, father and son talking during the second World War, a widow who lost everything in the Encilhada and is forced to marry and lose her freedom.
