Plot
Segismundo (Tony Ramos) is a former political police officer of Getlio Vargas' government, who used to torture prisoners. In April 1945, he is the chief of the Immigration Office in Rio de Janeiro and, therefore, is in charge of preventing the entry of Nazis. Then, the Polish Clausewitz (Dan Stulbach) must convince him that he is a victim in order to gain access to the country.
'Peacetime' is a film that turns a very complex issue (i.e. immigration) into a simple story of a day that changes the lives of two men.
