On 25 April 1974, in Portugal, the Carnation Revolution brought down Europe's longest-running dictatorship.

On 25 April 1974 in Portugal, the Carnation Revolution brought down Europe's longest-running dictatorship. Thousands of Portuguese people marched together towards their destiny to write, with a flower in the gun barrel, a sublime story of unity, love and peace.

These men and women thus succeeded in winning their freedom without a single drop of blood being spilled. It is the story of a democracy won through the unity of a people and conquered with flowers.

When her grandson asks her about her life, Céleste, a Portuguese immigrant in France, summons up memories of her youth muzzled by Salazar's dictatorship... Following the triumph of "Voyage dans les mémoires d’un fou", here is the brand-new creation by Lionel Cécilio!
