The battles had ceased in Europe, but Brazil still found itself tecnically at war. The encounter between the interrogator, a customs official and former-torturer for the Political Police of Presedent Vargas and a Polish ex-actor who had lived the horrers of war but was suspected of being a Nazi fugitive, takes place in the Rio de Janeiro port immigration office. The film portrays a critical period of Brazilian history and speaks of Manichaeism and of fighting for life.
