With the president's blessing, Samuel Wainer launches a new paper, hires Nelson Rodrigues and makes enemies, Carlos Lacerda first among them. Marcos, once tortured by the regime of the same Getúlio Vargas, rejects Wainer's offer at first, then joins the staff. Squeezed between his political comrades' demands and lack of money, he swings back and forth on principle, at the office and at home.
