[MUBI] Chronicle of an institutional coup, narrated with a static gaze, although with a clear political position. But the austerity of the proposal works against it, with too many political speeches and a lack of information for viewers who don''t know Brazilian politics. The most interesting is the general vision of a corrupt political system, the defenselessness of transgression and abuse of the democratic mandate.
