Great Brazilian Movie

A film with great national actors, shows the maturity of the people, the shock of generations, and principles in improving working conditions, an engaging and beautiful film, highly recommended.

The filmmaker Leon Hirszman, who was a great documentarist, made few films, but great, I quote from São Bernardo in 1972. As protagonists we have the great Gianfrancesco Guarnieri (The Quatrilho of 1995) and Fernanda Montenegro (Central of Brazil in 1995).
