He was born in Castelo de Vide and is buried there, in a shallow grave, as was his wish. This documentary addresses some of the most relevant moments in the life of this courageous and tolerant man, whose contribution to the end of a 41-year dictatorship and to the establishment of a democratic regime in Portugal was decisive.
