Álvaro Cunhal and Mário Soares indelibly marked the twentieth century in Portugal. The series tells, in parallel, the lives of these two men, creating bridges and intersections that connect the two paths, political, emotional and family. Sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, in the life of one the other will always be present, as an example, as an adversary, as a mirror.
An eight-part story of two intersecting lives, which share moments and characters. The story of how Soares and Cunhal became two of the fathers of Portuguese Democracy, for their lives of struggle, militancy, rebellion, but also intelligence and strategy.
These are stories of an emotional, historical and political magnitude that require a deep approach and that’s why this isn’t just a dramatic series.
It is also a conversation between two characters. Sometimes a debate, sometimes a more harmonious speech, but always a story composed of two halves, two paths, two struggles.
