During the colonial period, a European artist travels through Brazil and reports on his impressions. 200 years later, a doorman stares at the images of the surveillance cameras and reflects on his job. Everything seems to be in its place. Until the images of the European artist emerge, and with them the nightmares of the past. Is it just a nightmare, or is it a call?
