In 1979, the military government allows the formation of new politic parties. The liberal Senator Viana, under the coordination of the efficient political journalist of the newspaper "Correio da Nação", Carlos Santana, is trying to make alliances to form a new party of opposition to the government. In this period of exaggerated nationalism, Senator Machado accuses the international corporation United Mining of corruption in the process of exploration the iron ore in Gangorra. Meanwhile, he is accused of using the principles of nationalism to deliver the exploration of the mine to the Japan Steel. In this new political environment, the journalist of the Press Committee Anna Maciel, who is Santana's lover, lands in the middle of a dispute of the political Raul Pratis that wants to associate with Senator Viana, and the strong position against Santana's arrangement.
