On April 25, 1975, the first free elections were held in Portugal. The adult population exercised their right to vote democratically for the first time. Around 92% of registered voters went to the polls, a turnout rate that has never been surpassed to this day. Election night was held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, while the vote count was broadcast live on television. This film revisits the elections through the images produced during that night and the testimonies of those who lived through this historic moment.
