The documentary proposes a reflection on the Canudos War and its consequences through a very little known fact, that of a group of about 250 women and children who survived the war. After the decimation of Canudos, these women and children were left to their own devices.

Belmonte
Director
The film retraces the trajectory of Belmonte, considered one of the most important caricaturists in the country in the 1920s. It was in 1925, at Folha da Noite, that he created Juca Pato, a character that consecrated him. Belmonte did not spare the politicians and their ills, which made him persecuted by the Estado Novo.
