Synopsis
In his third episode Eduardo Escorel approaches the military insurrections in November 1935 that attempted to succumb Getulio Vargas' government. Led by members of Brazil's Communist Party, the episodes in Natal, Recife and Rio de Janeiro were a military and political failure. Despite the speed in which they were defeated, the 1935´s communist attempt occupies an important place in the political imaginary of losers and winners. The third episode develops questions raised by the previous movies.
