When a newspaper becomes a revolution and Chico Buarque is just... there.
Documentary about the 68-generation, told through the story of the newspaper “O Sol”, one of the first vehicles of the alternative Brazilian press, produced daily for six months, in the 1960s. The newspaper spoke of culture, politics and education through satires and prominent figures in the cultural scene of the time passed through him. Archive scenes and music from the period seek to reconstitute the spirit of the 68-generation. The film has the participation of personalities such as Ziraldo, Zuenir Ventura, Arnaldo Jabor, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Carlos Heitor Cony, Fernando Gabeira, Betty Faria, Hugo Carvana, among others.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
O Sol emerged during the brief 'opening' between AI-1 (1964) and AI-5 (1968), a legally nonexistent window where censorship was tactical, not total.
Many interviewees were filmed in the early 2000s during Lula's first presidency, creating a meta-layer: survivors of military rule commenting under Workers' Party optimism.
