Description

April 1974, two radio journalists are sent to Portugal to make a report about Swiss aid there. Bob, a sound technician nearing retirement, goes along with them. However, once there, nothing seems to go as planned. The atmosphere is highly charged between Julie, the feminist, and the wily war correspondent, Cauvin. Not even the cheery disposition of Pelé, the young Portuguese translator, makes any difference and the team decides to throw in the towel. But the wind of historic change steers them to the centre of the Carnation Revolution, on this beautiful April night of 1974.
