Portugal.
1942, night: the doctor of the poor is murdered.
1974, dawn: technicians cut cables, the recruit cannot leave the barracks.
2024, morning: users wait, travelers go ahead.
2077, afternoon: there is an echo of a text.
In the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April, Madrugada: as razões de um movimento summons historical episodes and projects itself into the future to reflect on democracy. It carries freedom between hands and dances around the question: how are revolutions made and prisons shattered?
