作为巴西驻汉堡领事馆的年轻职员(1938 年),阿拉西·德·卡瓦略冒着职业和生命危险拯救了数百人。尽管她的祖国巴西有严格的移民规定,而且她不享有外交豁免权,但阿拉西还是秘密地向犹太人发放了护照,以帮助他们逃离纳粹德国。Aracy de Carvalho is a young clerk at the Brazilian Consulate. For two years, she has been secretly issuing passports to Jews without the dreaded \"J\" stamp, which not only won't allow them to travel, but will doom them to the horrors of concentration camps. When newly appointed diplomat, João Guimarães Rosa, arrives in Hamburg, the two fall madly in love. Aracy would later be honored by the Yad Vashem with the Righteous Among the Nations Award. João would be known as the greatest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century.
