João Leffa

A promising athlete suffers a serious injury and, after his mother's death, begins to reflect on his future. Determined to reevaluate his priorities, he seeks to reconcile with his past.

After a murder shocks the academic community of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, a group of documentary artists decide to tell this story - but they find out terrible secrets.

In this short film adaptation of "Eles Não Usam Black Tie", the conflict between Otávio, a worker who defends the strike, and his son Tião, who questions the effectiveness of union struggles under the dictatorship, is presented. As tension grows between father and son, Maria, the mother, watches in silence, while the characters' discussion evokes reflections on the challenges of the working class.
