SYNOPSIS

Michel, a young researcher of Portuguese descent, arrives in Portugal with a camera in his hand to do research about the Revolution yet to be fulfilled.
Drawing parallels with current times, he maps the ways in which the film Good Portuguese People reflects the country integrated into Europe. While talking to Simão, a notorious filmmaker, Michel looks for answers for his own film. While meeting Susy, an environmental activist, he realizes that love is the way to go. As always, life and cinema merge together.
