Political sarcasm at it very best, this short film focuses on the doubts and tensions faced by the Brazilians under the military dictatorship. The director captures three or four characters; a politician defending his government, a soldier expressing apparent disillusionment, a girl living through the civil unrest and a revolutionary trying to find his answers. I say 'three or four' because the soldier has very little screen time, and all he does is say 'Bla bla bla' even as the politician continues his campaign, lending an element of dark humor to the short. A film true to its times, true to its citizens, extremely political in nature and even if it doesn't give a solution, it raises sensible questions and leaves the viewers to their thoughts. Probably didn't reach the mass but the expression rings true even now.
