A rock star-turned-bum, his vocal chords severed at the height of his career for the love of a woman, drunkenly roams the city, torn apart by sponsored race riots. When accused of murder, he may have the chance to get revenge on the magnate who maimed him.

Voltar is the short story of a man that returns from prison to find the woman that he used to love. The movie was made for RTP (the Portuguese National TV).
