Ana Maria Machado, a Portuguese journalist working in Washington, is asked in 2004 to film the story of the April Revolution, which the American ambassador in Lisbon at the time had called one of history's rare moments. She agrees, flies back and recruits two old workmates, and together they seek out people who took part in or saw the coup. Their interviews reveal what thirty years have done to these 'heroes' and to Portuguese society, from revolutionary illusion through disappointment to the long road to democracy. Running alongside is a private story, that of Ana Maria's father, António Machado.
