| At a New Year’s party at the beginning of 1972, at Cosmos’s house, we find a few of young people: Wood, Stock, Lady Jane, Rê Bordosa, Rampal, Nanico and Meiaoito. They are immensely enjoying the total purple haze of the Brazilian flower power while the New Year’s fireworks explode. All of a sudden, 30 years have passed and our heroes, now bald and potbellied, are facing the difficul- ties of a world more and more individualistic and consumerist. Family, children, work, bills to pay and solitude are concepts that do not fit in the inconsequent universe of these hairy people lost in time. The solution is to listen to the wise voice of Raulzito and bring back the old rock’n’roll band. Durante uma festa de reveillon na virada para 1972 na casa de Cosmo, os jovens Wood, Stock, Lady Jane, Rê Bordosa, Rampal, Nanico e Meiaoito, entre outros, vivem intensamente o barato do flower power ao explodir dos fogos de artifício. Trinta anos se passam e nossos heróis - agora carecas e barrigudos - enfrentam as dificuldades de um mundo cada vez mais individualista e consumista. Família, filhos, trabalho, contas a pagar e solidão são conceitos que não combinam com o universo inconseqüente desses “bichos-grilos’’ perdidos no tempo. O jeito é dar ouvidos à voz sábia de Raulzito e ressuscitar a velha banda de rock’n’roll.
