Based on a true story, this film is an account of the 1969 September kidnapping
of the American Ambassador (Arkin) to Brazil. As their only means of giving voice to their
progressive dreams and visions of a military regime, a group of young and naive idealists
join together to plot and carry out an act of terrorism.
As the film progresses through the four days, it looks into the lives and emotions of each
of the young terrorists as they begin to question the depth of their allegiance to the group.
