In August 1975, Fausto Giaccone, a young photojournalist, arrived in Portugal along with thousands of young people from the European left, interested in the revolutionary fervour of the country that had emerged from a decade of dictatorship on 25 April the previous year. After his first few days in Lisbon, immersed in parades and political meetings, he decides to tell the story of this phase of the revolution from a different angle: the effects of the Agrarian Reform, approved just a month earlier, on the lands of the former latifundia. By a series of coincidences, his gaze focuses on the town of Pouca, in Ribatejo, without knowing that it was known for its resistance to the dictatorship throughout the 20th century, which was met with harsh repression. So he spends a few days with the Couto workers and tells them about the day of the occupations on Sunday 31 August.
