Inspired by the ideas of Che Guevara and Régis Debray, a group of young people decided to create, in the 1960s, a guerrilla group at Serra do Capim-Açu, on the rural zone of Catolé do Rocha (PB). In order to face the local colonels and the military dictatorship, they engaged themselves in assembling handcrafted weapons. They were found and arrested. Inside the prison, they got in contact with marijuana and an alternative way of life. Once they got out, they started to live by the body politics, bathing naked on the local dam. Once again, they were arrested. Now, they evaluate their own experiences.
