THE SEAMSTRESS THAT SWALLOWED A PIN

Portugal, May, 1958. The General Humberto Delgado dares the Salazar's dictatorship in the presidential elections.  At the same time, in a small village deep in the country, a seamstress swallows a pin. This is the story of how the seamstress got rid of the pin, or maybe the story of how Salazar was pinched by Delgado.
