Overview
In the final phase of Salazar's life, the statesman recalls his life, his choices, the decisions he made, and those he could have made. Revealing the man behind the figure who ruled Portugal for 40 years was the great challenge: Salazar, as a statesman, is known to the general public. The myth of the stoic, staunchly religious, and asexual statesman is counterbalanced in this film.
