Through performatic acts and some exposition, a group of poets of that 1980's generation make great use of words, poems and rebellious acts criticizing the then current generation and its lack of admiration for the poetic works that were being created.

Os poetas Chacal, Francisco Alvim, Paulo Leminsky e Waly Salomão têm seus perfis traçados por meio de poemas apresentados de forma ficcional e performática. O filme homenageia ainda a poeta Ana Cristina Cesar.
