Summer 1975. In the middle of the political and social conflict, a homicide is committed in the slum of Barronhos near Lisbon. How can deep social reform of Portuguese society and justice be reconciled with an economy that inevitably creates pockets of marginality and disparities? How can popular power counteract the bourgeoisie’s omnipotence and make a significant contribution to class struggle?
