Portugal, August 1975. A young news photographer arrives in Lisbon from Rome along with thousands of young people of the European left, drawn by the particular moment the country was living through, a year after coming out of decades of dictatorship: the season of the Processo Revolucionário em Curso.

After the first days in Lisbon, taken up with marches and political gatherings, he decided to tell that phase of the revolution from a different angle. From then on came a very strong tie with the community of Couço, where over the following forty-nine years he would return more than once. After one of those returns, in 1986, eleven years after the first stay, he published A Portuguese Story.
