Francisco Julião

In Rome, in June 1979, the International Conference for Amnesty in Brazil is filmed, a major gathering of the Brazilian left in exile. Viewed in the present day, this archive revisits with rare vitality the question of political strategies in the face of state repressive apparatuses.

In Esdras Baptista's film archives, kept at his home for decades, one can feel the fervor of those who believed in a new tomorrow. Filmed in Brazil in the early 1960s, in the heat of a libertarian political movement, the filmmaker's images materialize the incandescence of collective desires at the historic moment of their emergence. Utopia, though unattainable, is never a mere abstraction. A force that mobilizes actions and feelings, it constitutes the impetus necessary for human existence.

The story of João "Jango" Goulart, the Brazilian left-wing president deposed by the military.
