A portrait of Italian immigrants who landed in São Paulo during the last decades of the 19th century. Questions, hesitations, fears and anxieties generated by the unknown that awaits for them on the dawn of the day. People who left their land with little or no explanation of what they would find in the new country, from illiterate peasants to the early anarchists, the adventurers, the opera singers looking for new opportunities. Who were the people that arrived in Brazil and what did they know or think about the land where their future would develop?
