In 1977, during the political turmoil of the Brazilian military dictatorship, former teacher Armando arrives in Recife during the carnival holiday, and is sheltered by Dona Sebastiana, alongside other political refugees: Claudia, Haroldo and Angolan Civil War immigrants Thereza Vitória and Antonio. Nearby, since the passing of his wife Fátima, Armando's son Fernando is being raised by his father-in-law Sr. Alexandre, a projectionist at Cinema São Luiz [pt]. Meanwhile, corrupt chief of police Euclides and his sons Sergio and Arlindo are called during the holiday after a human leg is found inside a captured tiger shark.
