Movie · 0h 53m

Starring Margarida Vila-Nova, João Pedro Vaz, Gonçalo Norton, Luís Lima Barreto

The revolutionary Álvaro Cunhal, symbol of Portuguese communism and political giant of the 20th century. He is nothing less than a larger-than-life figure, now examined by João Botelho’s camera, in a detective-minded film, in which the early years of the life of the historic leader of the Portuguese Communist Party are explored. In between, excerpts from his own books are staged for the spectator.
