Description:
Pereira, a lonely widower and editor at a minor Lisbon newspaper, just wants a quiet life -- even as the shadow of Fascism lengthens over Portugal. But when he meets the young firebrand Monteiro Rossi, Pereira finds himself waking up to what is happening in his country. Unable to stay quiet any longer, he commits a defiant, glorious act of rebellion.
