Drama
In Portugal, on the night of April 24-25 1974, the radio broadcasts a forbidden song: Grândola. It could have been the insubordination of a rebellious journalist. In fact, it was the programmed signal for a military coup that would change the face of this small country afflicted by decades of archaism and the fate of vast territories in Africa.
To the sound of poet José Alfonso’s voice, the insurgent troops took over the barracks. At 3 a.m., they march on Lisbon. Shortly after the sad military putsch in Chile, the Carnation Revolution was distinguished by the adventurous yet peaceful and lyrical nature of its unfolding.
These 24 hours of revolution are experienced by 3 characters: 2 captains and 1 young woman, a literature professor and journalist.
