Description:
The film follows historian Sidney Aguilar as he investigates the discovery of Nazi swastika-marked bricks in São Paulo. His research uncovers a disturbing truth: during the 1930s, fifty Black and mixed-race boys were forcibly taken from an orphanage in Rio de Janeiro to the farm where the bricks were found. There, they were numbered and subjected to slave labor by a prominent family with Nazi sympathies.
