Synopsis
Based on a moving true story, a group of young idealists plans a terrorist act — their only perceived means of voicing their dreams and visions in a military regime — in this account of the 1969 kidnapping of the American ambassador to Brazil (Alan Arkin). The Oscar-nominated film delves candidly into kidnappers’ lives and emotions as they begin to question both the depth of their allegiance to the group and the motives of their comrades.
