O Que Trago do Chumbo - Os 50 Anos do Golpe Militar
Music
357 mortos. 1843 mortos e torturados. Estes são apenas dois dos legados que a Ditadura Militar, que se estabeleceu no Brasil do dia 31 de março de 1964 a 15 de março de 1985, deixou ao nosso país, que ainda guarda muitos resquícios desse duro e triste período. Em memória aos 50 anos do Golpe Militar, quatro alunos do Colégio ADV se reuniram para contar a história do período sob seis pontos de vista diferentes, os seis de professores que sentiram na pele os efeitos do militarismo que durou mais de 20 anos no Brasil. Os depoimentos originaram o documentário "O Que Trago do Chumbo", o qual, além das histórias marcantes dos nossos docentes, reúne também imagens raras do período e acontecimentos ainda pouco conhecidos pela população.

His wife, Céline, tries to renew his interest in life. Despite a few moments of rediscovered happiness, Fabrice remains trapped in his confusion and one day disappears. Céline, her intense love leading the way, goes looking for him and eventually finds him. Once again, she tries to save him from himself. Can love resuscitate a languishing man?
