Arnaldo Jabor is one of the greatest Brazilian directors and this documentary is his first film. In 1964, Brazil had a military coup, installing a dictatorship through many years. With this documentary, Jabor intends to show the political alienation of the Brazilian middle-class. He randomly selected persons, maybe without any statistical technique, asking them questions about future, fears, objectives, concluding how alienated they were. This film is addressed to a very specific part of the Brazilian audience, such as students or professionals of history and cinema, or nostalgic or curious persons, who wants to see how was the ideology and thinking of that naive generation. A great chance to see images of Chacrinha, Yoná Magalhães, Henrique Martins and the cast of famous Brazilian soap-opera `O Sheik de Agadir', Clovis Bornay, Wanderley Cardoso and other personalities of my childhood. My vote is six.
