Synopsis
On 25 April 1974, the Carnation Revolution put an end to forty years of authoritarian regime in Portugal. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of this event, the Arras Film Festival and its long-standing partner the Monstra Festival in Lisbon have put together a programme of six Portuguese animated shorts that evoke this dark page in the country's history with force and poetry.
