Synopsis
Levinson (Jehova De Carvalho), an American winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, comes to Brazil, where he sings the praises of a now-forgotten Brazilian writer, Pedro Archanjo (Juarez Paraiso). This prompts the local media to look into Archanjo, who, to the horror of many conservatives, espoused the mixing of races as a means of improving the human condition. As Archanjo's theories are rediscovered by the public, it becomes apparent that racism is still strongly entrenched in Brazilian culture.
