This is obviously a film very much under the radar, as I could hardly find any critic reviews for it, it was listed in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, and to be honest that is the only reason I watched and hoped for the best. Basically in fictitious Latin American country of Eldorado political power is creating internal struggle, and idealistic and anarchist poet and journalist Paulo Martins (Jardel Filho) is stuck in the middle of the opposition. He is fighting against the two corrupt political candidates, pseudo populist governor Felipe Vieira (José Lewgoy) and conservative president Porfirio Diaz (Paulo Autran), he is torn between the two sides, and when the election is completed the winning candidate goes against the policies he had stated. Following this Paulo decides to stay out of politics and go back to his writing, but his girlfriend Sara (Glauce Rocha) is trying to convince him to try to talk to the leader of the country into pursuing a particular direction, after this the writer ends up getting shot. Also starring Paulo Gracindo as Don Julio Fuentes, Hugo Carvana as Alvaro, Danuza Leão as Silvia, Joffre Soares as Father Gil, Modesto De Souza as Senator and Mário Lago as Captain. I have always said to myself that as long as it has a good story and plot I will like a political film, I am not sure what I really thought about this one, it was sort of hard to concentrate and read subtitles, I can't remember specific moments that I liked, but I know I kept watching because something interesting was going, so I will say it is watchable drama. Worth watching!
