Documentary about 30 years of Brazilian politics, focusing on ex-president Jânio Quadros, a controversial persona, elected using the broom as a symbol (to sweep away corruption!).

In the hostile streets of the city of São Paulo, among walls, cars, trash and ruins, a boy runs. We don't know what he's running from. We only know that the boy is black and poor - which, nowadays, is enough to make him a victim of harassment. Just as, in another time and place, a Jewish surname was enough to send a man or woman to hell. The boy who runs sees images of this hell - the Nazi concentration camps - on TV screens that he crosses along the way. The images of the Holocaust are contrasted with more recent images of violence committed against poor children in Brazil. The persecuted and disoriented boy ends up by chance in a hall where people he doesn't know are singing in a language he doesn't know (Yiddish). Despite this, he feels welcomed, and little by little a smile lights up his face.
