The Portuguese Revolution revisited.
Three glances upon the relationship between political power and the military. Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, one of the leading figures in the plot, gives us his viewpoint on the path that led from the colonial war to the military coup that ended fascism in Portugal. Eduardo Lourenço, a University Professor, analyses the extremes of revolutionary politics. And Robert Kramer, an American journalist, gives the film a mystery novel twist by searching for the cause of the
failure of the Revolution.
