Au Portugal, dans la nuit du 24 au 25 avril 1974, la radio diffuse une chanson interdite : Grândola. Il pourrait s'agir de l'insoumission d'un journaliste rebelle. C'est en fait le signal programmé d'un coup d'État militaire qui changera la face de ce petit pays affligé par des décennies d'archaïsme et le destin d'immenses territoires en Afrique. Au son de la voix du poète José Alfonso, les troupes insurgées prennent les casernes. À 3 heures du matin, elles marchent sur Lisbonne. Peu après le triste putsch militaire au Chili, la Révolution des Œillets se distingue par le caractère aventureux, mais aussi pacifique et lyrique de son déroulement. Ces 24 heures de révolution sont vécues par trois personnages : deux capitaines et une jeune femme, professeur de lettres et journaliste.

Outra Forma de Luta

Apr 26, 2014
In early 1985, the writer Nuno Bragança hands his friend Carlos Antunes a 13 question’s questionnaire; 13 sheets of graph paper, of which he offered the recto-verso of each for his friend to answer. The questions were about Carlos Antunes’ personal and political career, with a special interest in his involvement in the Revolutionary Brigades and the armed struggle against the dictatorship that led to his arrest in 1978. The untimely death of the writer, in the same year, left the questionnaire unanswered and some uncertainty as to its purpose. After almost 30 years, the director asks Carlos Antunes to answer the 13 questions and to reconstruct the achievements, illusions and sorrows of the Revolutionary Brigades in Portugal, in the years surrounding the Carnations’ Revolution in 1974.
