Accepted the job, returns, hires two former colleagues, and the three young men visit and interview several players and witnesses of the coup d ' état, revisiting the myths of the revolution. A route that allows the effect of passing of time not only about these heroes, but also about the Portuguese society, in its greatness and its miseries.
