The Night

In the newsroom of a newspaper, in Lisbon, on the night of April 24, 1974, the routine will be interrupted by a discussion between the provincial editor, Manuel Torres, a journalist with heart and soul who defends journalistic truth above any other interest. , with its editor-in-chief, Abílio Valadares, a man submissive to political power, who accepts the censorship of texts without question and who has the unconditional support of Máximo Redondo, the newspaper's director. Torres, who does not tolerate the idea of the newspaper being constantly manipulated by third parties, is in a constant ideological struggle with the leadership. He is an idealist who will fight for the truth to return to the pages of “his” newspaper and will have as allies Cláudia, a young intern, and Jerónimo, the linotyper, head of the night shift.
