21 long-takes depict moments of the real event known as the Battle of the Students, in October 1968, during the Brazilian dictatorship. Alongside, students and professors of the Left Student Movement, in the building of the Philosophy School of São Paulo University in a definitive night. The characters face attacks by the Communist-Chasing Committee coming from across the street, from Mackenzie Presbyterian University. When confrontation erupts, screams, molotovs, rocks, sticks, homemade bombs are thrown and an innocent boy is killed. 24 hours alive with the passion of the youth of the 60s, in defense of an ideal, on the verge of the military invasion of the Philosophy School building.
