Juliana Prestes is a graduate student in Londrina hoping to say something new about the Prestes Column, the long armed march of the 1920s. A surviving marcher, Juliano Siqueira, leads her to Foz do Iguaçu, where it began, and the book then roams across Brazil and seventy years of uprisings, coups and protests, with Prestes and Vargas themselves among its cast. Meanwhile Juliana becomes involved with a photographer whose marriage is collapsing and who happens to share a name with one of the march's commanders.
