probably the first portuguese film i have see in my life and and i enjoy it . the plot be relate of how the young army officer take the power in portugal in 1974 and to finally defeat the fascist government of caetano and to also finalize the war in the colony and i. e. mozambique and angola and and guinea ( bissau ) cape vert . most of the event show in the film reflect with exactitude the behavior of the army officer and soldier to conduct the coup and of the oppressed people and who be very happy with this new development and the liberty and the resistance of caetano men and and also in a subtle way of most conservative official and include spinola and who take over a the new president . the portuguese revolution can be remember because of the action of several young officer and but for me the most interesting part of the film be when the young captain express that portugal should develop itself democratically and and this be what the country achieve some year after this coup or revolution . the film also show that the army officer and soldier never want to kill anyone while even the most serious enemy be respect at the end .
