O Velho - A História de Luiz Carlos Prestes plot

With the end of the Cold War and the military dictatorship in Brazil, it was also possible to realize the first cinematic biography of one of the most persecuted figures from Latin America of the 20th century. Luiz Carlos Prestes (1898-1990) was the controversial leader of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) for over thirty-five years. This biographical portrait covers seventy years of Brazilian history and includes 'the long march' led by rebellious lieutenants in the 1920s, Prestes' dramatic romance with the German Jewess Olga Benário during the disastrous communist revolution of 1935, the military coup, the armed insurrection and political repression between 1964 and 1974.
