Based on recently uncovered facts and supported by testimonies and archive footage, this film tells the story of Luiz de Souza Dantas. During the World War II, the Brazilian ambassador goes against Getulio Vargas' direct and secret orders that forbade our embassies from granting visas to "Jews and other undesirables". He disregarded these orders, facing Vargas, the French government and Nazism itself, issuing more than a thousand irregular diplomatic visas to Brazil granted to those persecuted by the Nazi regime.
