principally it be the story of two men who be part of the portuguese revolution . it be easy to understand the contest and but usually director start from a historical fact to speak about something else and or they show also the period before or after this fact and here everything happen during that couple of day when the revolution act . it could also be see a a kind of documentary . the movie focalize to these two people and show a normal they be and not like common hero and because the revolution come from people . although it be make from military army from the title you can understand that they be just capitaes a the main character . nice color and light during the whole movie and excellent work for the director be her first movie and she doesn not fall to the banal way . well show emotion and passion of people and crowd . the character of maia ( main one ) be well make and there be also a good interpretation for stefano accorsi and able to show maia limit and this not be an hero .
