Overview
After the coup of 1964, the media conglomerate Diários Associados organized a campaign called "Gold for Brazil," exhorting the people to donate wealth to the military government. The symbol of the campaign was the wedding ring, sealing the union between the people and the State. The film picks up the trail of the millions collected, but never channeled back into society.
