这个警示性的故事献给民主危机时代，本片融合了个人视角和政治题材，探索了巴西历史上最戏剧性的时期之一。 片中既有对前任和现任领导者前所未有的近距离访问，包括迪尔玛·罗塞夫和卢拉·达席尔瓦总统；也有导演自家复杂的政治和商业过往，电影制作人佩特拉·科斯塔（《伊莲娜》）带观众见证了他们的起起落落，以及所留下的这个极度两极分化的国家。

The impeachment and removal from office of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016 was triggered by a corruption scandal involving, among others, her then vice-president Michel Temer. Director Maria Augusta Ramos follows the trial against Rousseff from the point of view of her defence team. This is a courtroom drama that unfolds slowly: the appearances of the various parties gradually turn the proceedings into something akin to theatre. Inside the courtroom, grand emotions are played to full effect whilst, on the other side of the doors, lobbyists and supporters pace the corridors. Meanwhile, outside, in front of Brasília’s modernist government buildings, demonstrators are chanting like a Greek chorus. Only the main character, Rousseff herself, remains professional and aloof.

A documentary feature film about the biggest global corruption scandal in history, and the hundreds of journalists who risked their lives to break the story.
