Year after year, students from across the country subject themselves to initiation rites when they start college. Hazings, organized by older students, take place throughout the whole first year. Based upon ancient traditions and following a rigid hierarchy, hazings have thrived once again in the last decade. They gather more and more supporters, thrilled with its explicit sexual language, power games and different levels of humiliation.


Ano após ano, estudantes portugueses, do Norte e do Sul, submetem-se a ritos de iniciação quando começam a universidade. Praxes, organizadas pelos alunos mais velhos, incluem vários desafios e cerimonias, que ocorrem durante todo o primeiro ano, dia e noite, e por vezes interferindo nas aulas. Baseados em tradições antigas e seguindo uma hierarquia rígida, as praxes aumentaram mais na última década. Apesar dos protestos, reúnem cada vez mais adeptos, entusiasmados com a linguagem sexual explícita, os jogos de poder e os níveis de humilhação.
