You are heavy, you know?
You are heavy, boy?!
Oh, mom, Ziza said...
that dad and Jaime
fell in the world.
What does fall in the world mean?
It means to go around.
Is it bad to fall in the world?
No, luis, it is not.
Wolfy, wolfy!

''Miss Lindu wants to let you know...
that your daughter...
Sebas...
Sebastiana completes today...
your friend...
Tosinho.''
Son, did you really read this from there,
ha, Jaime?
When you left to take Jaime...
you slept with Lindu, man?
Come, Jaime, write to Lindu.
Come on, Jaime, write to your mom.
Here it is nothing like
the people are saying.
We work a lot and earn few money.
Come on, Jaime!
Everything that we have is there
Don't sell anything.
''Sell eveything we have...
and come...
with all the children here.''
''Stay with all the kids there.
Don't walk away from our lands.''
''Come here with the kids...
come...
Sell the house, the l-a-nd...
the ghots and the icons from the house.''
''Take care of the kids.''
''A-ris-ti-des.''
''Aristides.''
Come, people!
The road of happiness...
Taking everyone to Sao Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro...
Everybody, that has
tickets for...
Look, this one,
this one is for the land.
And this one is already for
the things, the ghots, the animals...
Don't worry...
the tickets are included there.
Go in peace, go in peace.
You stay here, ok, i don't like
goodbyes. Stay here.
Let's go, people!
Those that bought a ticket for Rio
and for Sao Paulo...
jump fast in the truck.
Let's go.
-Ziza, take this.
-All of this is yours?
-It is. We can't take it?
-You can. Let's go. Go up.
Up, up.
Go there.
Put the backpack and the shoes here.
Go, my daughter, go, Marinete.
There is not enought space.
Shut up,
Sit down where there is space!
The trip didn't even start,
and you are already complaining.
Mom, the people are falling in the world,
right?
Yes, they do.
Hold on to something, hold strong.
Let's go!
And Wolfy?
The wolf doesn't come?
Mom?
God help us.
Woke up, my son?
I will give you a bit
of brown sugar.
Look at the bus, people!

-Obey your father!
Aristides, don't do this, no!
-Go to your mother!
-Don't do this to the boy!
Where is my cachaca,
Where is my cachaca?
Are you ok? Come here.
Don't cry!
He is not crying, no.
No joking around, no,
he has to work.
Mateus...
Maria Fernanda...
What is this, Luis?
This is a girl. She started the trip with
us in the north, but she never finished it.
What did she die of?
I think of sadness.
Did you speak to her?
Only with the eyes.
And what did you talk about?
I wanted to tell her
not to be sad.
Because it was very bad to leave that place,
but it was better comming here.
But i didn't have time.
Professor, where is my bulletin?
Where do you live?
and 80 too for geography.
And, this, this is a ...
a good sign, right?
Is good, yes, Mrs Lindu.
Thank you.
The maximum grade is 100.
That't. It's good that it is good,
right?
Missis Lindu, i did come until here
personaly to bring you the bulletin...
because... i wanted
to tell you...
that your son is a very
intelligent boy.
And... i know exactly
what You are talking about.
I wanted to collaborate
to ensure his future.
My intention...
Well, i could stay with him...
if you wanted,
if you let me...
I know that i can give him
a very good education.
But you are saying that...
Stay with him, what do you mean?
I could adopt him legally.
It is only a question of...
Look, mrs...
i am very pleased with the education
that You are giving...
to my son in your school.
I thank you from my heart
the praising, because...
it is a sign that he... he is
using the chance, right?
This is a happiness for me, but...
i am growing my children.
All i want is to make
somebody out of him.
Look, isn't he already somebody?
He is Luis, my son.
Will you stop your son
from having a better life?
No, no way.
Luis will study,
he will have a proffesion.
Oh, Mrs, don't worry
like that, no...
everything here is as resistant as leather, ih!
We have seen poverty
there in the north, you know?
-A group of ungratefuls!
-Oh, no!
Come here, and i will kill you,
i will kill you!
You're demons!
I will kill you!
Come here, ungrateful!
I will kill you! Deamon!
I will get you, ungrateful!
Aristides, don't do this
with the boys!
I want to see which one of them will have
the courage to go to school now!
What are you doing with them?
I gave an order, my sons don't have to
study, they have to work!
I sent the boys to school
Aristides, for God's sake!
You sent the boys to
school?
-Then i will kill you too!
-You respect me!
Don't hit my mom!
Don't beat my mom!
-You repsect me!
-Don't heat my mom, why?
Because a man doesn't hit a woman!
Hurt?
Go.
Lindu!
Lindu! Ungrateful!
Lindu!
Lindu! Ungrateful, come back, woman!
Don't leave me alone, no!
Let's go, let's go!
Play, lambari! Play!
Go, Lula! go, go!
Gol!!
Let's go back, go, go...
Let's play one more, come?
Go, go, let's get over them,
because they are scared, let's go!
We could have done much more
than being satisfied with little...
we can do better than this.
Definitely.
-Your sister is there.
-Hi, Lurdes!
-My God, you stink!
-It's true!
No, stop!
-Come by my house later.
-You can leave it.
Do you want some help?
No, just leave it.
Is your mom home?
I don't know.
I will have a suit like that.
Lula! Lula!
This fell off!
Re-gi-nal-do Sou-za.
Hey, this guy is brave like the Evil!
-Anyway, it's a good thing, no?
-It's a suit.
Ah, my father has one.
No, but this one is expensive.
It was made to measure.
You saved me, Lurdes.
Thank you.
Be careful not to
lose any again!
Can I?
Look at him, the boss of this guy passed him
through a washing machine and an iron, right?
is Lambari here?
We are going to the cinema.
To the cinema? lambari is inside there
getting ready, seems like he will get married
-Excuse me.
-Go there.
Will you get married, Lambari?
Marrie what?
You came late, right, Lula?
This way we will lose the session.
Its not me who is polishing
his hair, right?
-Is is too fat?
-Of course it is, isn't it, Lurdes?
Pass a hairbrush through it
and pull a little bit.
Lambari, did your father leave?
It's there on the bed. My mom said that
he doesn't need to know.
So much prissy...
It is, but if you don't have a jacket,
the doorman won't let you enter.
Someday i will go to the cinema with you.
Let's go, yes.
Lambari, only one jacket for the both of us?
Yes, right?
Lula!
Luis, wake up!
Let's go, Luis, wake up, boy!
Will you stay there?
Will you die drowned?
Take it, hold it, hold it.
Oh, my God!
Look at me, boy, aren't you coming?
Let's go!
let's go there..
Let's save what is possible.
It will be just fine. Help me here.
Take what you can!
Let's save the things!
-I will help you.
-I will lose everything!
Mom, are You ok, mom?
My iron! Where is my iron?
You go back up there!
-The iron from up there.
-What am i doing?
Come, Lula, come, Lula!
Oh, my God!
The overalls!
The overalls...
Oh, my God!
Mom, are you ok?
Everything is fine, but we will have to stay here!
Leave the girls there!
You can't take this water, no,
all of this is full of sickness!
Excuse me, when is the test
for the mechanics?
It's tomorrow, at 14 o'clock.
Do you want to register?
Here.
This is the turn, people.
This machine is operating
by rotating this part...
that is caught in this head,here
we call it universal plate.
during this internship, you will pass
by all the machines on this line...
no matter who will you be: the fitter,
pressman, turner...
you will have to know the part...
from the beginning
until the end...
you will pass by the boring machine,
by the milling cutter, by the clamp...
by all the machines from this line
of production that you will have to...
Take your hands away from there, boy!
What are you doing?
-I thought it was...
-Oil!
If you didn't know that this is oil,
better go back home.
What do you want to do with this?
I will make a juice for you.
The SENAI has the pride to invite...
Luis lgnacio da Silva,
gratuating in the group of 1961 ...
to receive his certificate.
People, Mr. Egidio sent me to anounce that
all of you are free.
There are a lot of protests around here,
and the boss ordered to close the factory.
You are in protest, you can
take your stuff and go back home.
I didn't know i was protesting, no.
Do we have to be protesting?
It's better to go, not to get
in any trouble. Let's go.
This Friday...
the Brazilian nation was
shaken again...
by manifestations of the
unsatisfied protesters.
Inspired by left
doctrines...
workers and populars went out
on the street, making Sao Paulo...
a true show of
vandalism.
Despite it's trienal plan
combining agrarian, fiscal...
educational reforms,
banking and electoral...
the president Joao Goulart still...
finds a lot of political resistence...
in different sectors
of our population.
Ziza, Ziza, look your brother is there!
Lula, Lula!
Lula, come up!
What is it? Are you involved
in this protests?
No, no, i am just following the movement.
Do you want to come with me?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Look there! Look there the people,
look at the worker there!
The people united will never lose again!
The people united will never lose again!
Close the gates!
The movement, comrade!
One of ours was killed
comrades!
Killer! Push him!
Wait! Wait for me, Lula!
Wait, wait, Lula!
You are confusing the things.
Lula.
Confusing what, Ziza? Those
are not the people from your party?
Yes... yes... some of them were...
but not all of them.
And the movement won't lose
it's political importance...
because of some
stupid deeds!
I saw what kind of politics that was,
the personal was there to break everyhting!
Damn it, isn't you who is saying
that the dialogue is important?
Damn it, did you hear anybody?
You have no idea about the exploitation
this bourgeois son of a ...
Exploitation of what, Ziza?
Damn it, was that unfortunate
better than us?
Did he really need to be thrown form up there?
Shit, shit!
What face is that?
What face is that?!
Those 2 unfortunate writhing
on the ground don't go out of my head.
Is this something you have to
think about now, damn it?
lula, look at the force of Sao Bernardo!
This is the power of Sao Bernardo,
my darling...
this is what i am talking about, understood?
If we will drink everything now,
soon there won't be anything left, right?
Is it for drinking or for showing off?
-Of course it is for showing off!
-And then?
Here it is. It happens that
i have enough money only for one.
Society, ha?
This one is yours and mine.
Freaking boring guy, you, huh?
Isn't it for showing off? I am showing off
the package, I am showing the package.
O, you are showing?
Than this is the reason that
those women don't stop looking here
You know what you are
That's because you have a face
like somebody just coming from a long trip...
This is the truth
That is the reason why they are not looking.
And look at you!
With this striped shirt...
he considers himself a Casanova from...
from Vila Carioca!
Than this is it, huh, look how it's done...
look at me, learn from dady
how you approach a woman.
Go, go, go look.
Watch me.
Hi. Are you without company?
You know what is it?
My friend there...
He is lonely,
and he is a little shy...
I wanted to know if you like...
A guy from Vila Carioca...
That woman is
too tall for you...
Who is too tall?
You can't afford it,
a woman of that height...
At some point you stuck
you head on the breasts of that woman...
lh, the dog, son of a bitch
you will awake the entire neighbourhood...
First, the obligations;
after, the fun.
Look, Luis...
if it will be the other way,
your life won't be long, no.
Go to sleep, go...
-Good night, mom.
-Good night.
Another extraordinarily
report.
Today, in this 9 of april of year 1964...
the newly appointed
president Castelo Branco...
finishes to sign
an institutional act...
that guarantees to the brazilian govern
broad powers...
to modify our Constitution...
revoke legislative mandates...
suspend political rights...
compolsorily retire
citizens who attempt...
against the national security...
also other measures
that are necessary.
The piece is ready.
Let's go sleep, Luis.
No, i promised
You are crazy...
To promise something like this?
I am leaving.
Lula!
Lula... what happened?
What happened?
Luis, Luis...
What is it, my son?
What is with the hand?
Sorrounded by the wave of
mass demissions...
the ABC workers are marked by
bad news in the media...
about from two to three months
of unemployment per year.
Attention, people!
There are no vacancies for this function.
All the places are occupied,
there are no vacancies.
Everything is full, finished.
-Hi, mom.
-Hi, son.
Take. Take it, my son.
Come on eat, eat my sweetheart, eat.
My son, the worst is behind now.
Now raise your head,
and look forward and persist.
It is all about persisting.
Welcome.
Excuse me... and thank you.
And when... when do I start?
Start on Monday.
How beautiful is Lurdes!
I can't stop
looking at her.
This never happened with me before,
i don't know what got into me!
If you don't know, i will tell you:
it's called love!
-No, it's nothing like this...
-Love! It's obvious it is!
I can see little hearts
shining around you...
Oh, it's impossible to talk to you.
I see Lurdes every day,
i never felt anything.
Don't try to lie to me, no. Oh! Tell
this to my mom. You wanna know?
Do something about it at once...
go talk to her, go, go,
go make the things right.
Go, do it, go, go.
Be brave, man...
You know Lurdes since
she was little, go, go fast.
Oh, just one more thing, ok?
Make my sister happy, man!
I am shaking badly...
Me too...
But mine wasn't yesterday,
nor the day before yesterday, you know?
When i saw you today,
entering here...
arriving here to dances,
I... started sweating...
Really?
No. It's a lie.
Actually, there is some time
since i keep an eye on you...
But I keep an eye on you too!
-No, it's me who keeps an eye on you.
-No, it's me...
No, it's me who...
Wanna dance?
Will some things change
between us, Lurdes?
Only the good part.
It will improve.
What a shork, you scared
me idiot!
Scared of what, my love?
I don't know, you are different,
with that weird hair...
It's a wig, silly.
A special edition,
of the ''National Journal''...
Oh, how boring,
can't even watch a series anymore!
I will warm up the dinner.
Everything is already in their hands,
what else do they want?
I will go help your mom.
...The institutional act Nr 5, through
which the brazilian govern...
places the National congress
in recess...
Geraldo, even i gave up trying
to take Lula in the sindicate, Geraldao.
Tell him what you are telling me...
-Nothing.
-What?
I said that i think that
it is better to watch series...
than waste time
with this nonsense.
Series, Geraldao!
Series, Geraldao...
So you like series, right?
And do you really believe this?
Look, Geraldao, i have a good job,
you know?
I have some plans with Lurdes,
and i don't want to get in troubles.
You know that at some moment you are up
and the next you are down.
What is this?
Are you pressing me, are you?
It's not about that, i already told you,
it has nothing to do with that.
Ok, just listen, you don't lose anything
if you will go the to take a look.
It won't bite you.
You organize these meetings
only to talk about holiday period.
When the problem is salary,
the effort that you do is not the same.
But it is true, Comrades.
It's one thing at a time...
we should start gaining again the trust
of the working class in the sindicate.
We have to bring the working class
here again.
I didn't know it would be like that.
This looks like
football talk.
But it's not like that, on a rush,
on fluster, no...
No, i don't know, no, huh?
Ah, come on! You will keep
on insiting with this...
and they will
go turn back to you...
And that one know how to play, huh?
-He is the president.
-...he will piss you off.
Will you confront them, will you
go there with your bare chest, against the tank
Exactly like this.
It can get ugly, but we should
reatract a little bit now.
It is important. It is important
for us to retract a little.
Reatracting now is not a sight of
cowardice, no, it's a sign of courage.
We have to persist,
comrads, to continue lively...
fix our positions.
If no...
There is space for you, on his sheet.
We need to be persistent...
True or not?
The stuff is filling the mouth
of the workers with everything, but...
does this circus
change anything...
or it stays like before?
It depends on what the what the players wish.
In reality, a worker like
us, even operators...
none of them was there.
Everything was born and grown in the office.
And then, why would i get
involved in a game like this?
That is what is missing there...
somebody different.
That thinks different.
But why don't you call Ziza?
We can't call Ziza
because Ziza is a comunist...
understand?
If we call Ziza...
the authorities, the employers will
be keeping an eye on us.
But his formation?
He has formation, doesn't it matter?
The formation here is deformation for people.
The ideology doesn't matter,
it is something for your mind.
Ok.
Lula, will you come to the syndicate
with me or no?
I don't know...
Come, lula.
Come, men, come, yeeee!
That's how i like it!
Fresh blood around here.
What?
If i had a little house like this one,
would you marry me?
There is something wrong with your judgment, no?
You just finished speaking about the syndicate,
and now you speak about marriage...
The sydnicate is very dangerous
for those that want to have a family, you know?
Come here, come here!
Listen, this little place...
i boght it with the money
that i saved from the compensation.
Don't joke with me like that,
Mr. Luis!
Lurdes, do you have any doubt
that we were born for each other?
No.
Will you marry me?
Take care, lula, if you die,
i will kill you!
Will you marry me?
Oh, i'll throw the bouquet!
Lurdes, Lurdes, my daughter!
Listen...
Eh... you need patience in the marriage,
ok? You know that, right?
Brown sugar is sweet
but it is not soft, no, huh?
I know, Miss Lindu,
don't worry, i will take care...
of your son very well, ok?
Go... throw... throw... throw...
Oh, i will throw, huh?
lu, how many buttons
does this dress have?
Fifty, i think.
If you don't get an appointment
you can get burnt, you know?
But i thought that he stays here
to talk to people.
No, Claudio stays,
but he is a person...
with a lot of atributions, meetings...
Look, let's do like this,
tell Claudio...
that these are some ideas
that i left here...
i got them together with the staff
that is in the box, ok?
Excuse me, i didn't know that
the indemnity was a problem.
Oh, you'll see,
Claudio will help you, ok?
I don't want anything from him.
Tell him that Lula left these here, ok?
These are just some ideas, nothig special...
Go, go, Feitosa,
you can solve this very well!
Ah, what is this!
It's true what they are saying
that you are only a sheepskin!
-Sheepskin?
-Sheepskin!
Then tell everyone that you want to
remove the sheepskin from the syndicate.
Tell them, tell them, tell it to everybody!
Ah, you think i am your backyard,
no, Feitosa?
Backyard, no, this is my house,
understand? This is my house!
And you have to have more respect
with all this.
-Should I?
-You should.
You won't be bringing your equipment
back in here, no!
-Ah, i won't?
-No.
And with whom will be doing
the sheet around here, huh?
-With whom?
-With whom?
You want to know with whom
will i be doing the sheet?
I want!
Oh, with lula! With lula!
The fresh blood, is with me.
-That one?
-Yes, with him?
That is what you can offer?
Huh, do you have something better to offer?
-Forget, Feitosa, forget, ok?
-Very well then, you can leave!
Go, go away, go,
you are very annoying, jealous!
He ows me for 2 months.
Doesn't pay to the syndicate for 2 months.
Everything fine, lula? How are you there?
Hi.
What happened?
I was thinking
that we could take advantage...
and educate a directorate that
would explain to the workers better...
this thing about the Guarantee Fund,
you know? The benefits...
Ok, a directorate for benefits,
is that right?
Exactly!
Damn it, this will be some hard work...
True, i wrote it all down, i made a research.
Yes? Ah, then you do this...
...you can do it.
-Can I?
Guess with whom will I have dinner
today. With the governator!
The workers are united, Lula,
let's go!
-That's it!
-Then i will set this one, ok?
Ok, go.
What time is it, huh?
-Huh?
-What time is it?
It's not even 10 yet, my love.
You started coming very late.
I just want to see what will your son...
think about his father being involved
in these things with the syndicate.
Bullshit.
Everybody knows that I am
in this thing with the sheet only to...
What did you just say?
This one will be a corinthian!
Hello.
A half, please.
Let's go, Brazil
of my heart
Let's all go ahead, united, Brazil
Save the selection
Suddenly that current is
going ahead
Let's win!
Lu? My love, come.
Come take a rest.
Didn't the doctor send you
to take some tests?
Don't worry.
He says that this weakness
is normal during pregnancy.
But i worry about
you, you know?
I know, i know.
I will lay down.
Ok.
Let me help you.
Opa! What was it?
Listen!
Can you wait for a minute,
please?
Look, my wife is sufffering.
Can't you see that...
...my wife here, huh?
-These are the contractions...
calm down, please.
Let's go sit there, come.
Sit down.
They will attend us now.
Doctor, look at my wife,
she doesn't feel well!
You sir will be a dad, that's all.
It's not all, doctor,
look at her, she is pale!
Listen to me, who is the doctor here?
Me or you?
Your wife will be taken to the surgical center,
calm down.
Tomorrow you do the following,
you go directly to the third floor.
No, no, i will stay here with her.
No, you will not stay here with her.
She will be hospitalized.
Go home, come tomorrow and bring
the babies clothes with you.
No, for God's sake,
let us be together.
Luis... Luis, i am dying...
You are not. You are not, my love,
things will get better, you will see.
I am just going home, ok? I will take
the babies clothes and will come back.
I am coming back, my love, i am coming back.
Let us work!
Please, please! Calm down.
Luis!
Mr. Luis lnacio da Silva?
Sir you have to be strong to
listen to what i have to tell you.
Your son was born dead.
You will need to be even stronger...
because your wife died too.
My son!
Oh, my son!
Luis?
Oh, Luis, come to eat.
-And the dances, was it nice?
-I didn't go, mom.
Why, my son...
I don't have any wish to dance.
But go out to meet your friends.
It's fine, it's fine.
Mom, my head is not fine.
I know, my son, i know...
Hey, i found this in
the pocket of your pants.
Tiana says that this is
from the syndicate.
Yes, it must be the leaflet from the campaign.
-But did you get into this, Luis?
-But this is no secret for anyone.
Ah, nor it's not a spoken subject?
Look, Luis, this is dangerous!
Look, mom,
I am the candidate for director.
Oh my God, what is this about, huh?
I need to keep my head busy.
If no, i will go crazy.
That's true.
But take care not only of your head,
take care of this one here, ok?
It all happened so fast, no, Lurdes?
It was a boy, you know?
Goodbye, my love.
Sheet 1 , here, comrade...
the sheet of the champion...
the sheet of the situation here, comreade...
it's better in our hands...
in the hand of the worker, than
in the hand of the cheater, damn it!
The sheet of the champion, comrade.
Here, oh, the sheet of the champion...
Take care, huh?
we are too many to be paranoid, Ziza,
for God's sake...
You know that all your personal from your sheet
is friendly to the militars.
-What should that mean?
-Damn it, Lula, open your eyes!
Don't invent, Ziza!
This syndicate now
is my family too.
The first complete vote of the Sheet 1 .
Victory, victory, victory...
Hey, comrade!
Everything's fine? Everyhting's fine?
Speak now, president...
-And for Feitosa, nothing?
-Everything!
One more mandate!
Speak now, president...
I can see that we only have
beer drinkers here, huh!?
And did we gather here to drink
or to speak?!
People, on 12th, at 8 in the evening, ok?
there at the syndicate.
The comrade that doesn't participate
is always the last to find out...
true or not, huh, comrade?
Let's go there, to decide together,
so we won't have what to complaint about later,
Huh, comrade?
That's it, come on.
Hey, Geraldao, damn it, they
complaint that nobody participates.
But then, look at this, damn it,
what is it written?
Nothing that would say at least
something to the simple people!
Ah, Lula, you exaggerate, huh?
Damn it, they keep on complaining
that nobody participates...
in the meetings, how will they participate?
Nobody knows anything...
or i am not right, Feitosa?
No, you are not... the people are
used to reat the leaflets.
But that's the problem.
The people are used to, damn it.
And what do you want?
You want me to do a leaflet...
with comic stories?
If you want, we ca do them
with naked ladies too...
That's not funny at all!
This is a family syndicate.
Miss Margareth is here too.
This is no good!
Calm down, calm down...
Sir... could you turn off the radio?
Excuse me, i didn't understand
what did you say.
Can you turn off the radio, please?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Because of a woman?
That's it, i am never wrong...
You look like
it's because of a woman...
Yes it is.
Wife and son.
I lost them both.
Oh my God.
It's less than a year
since i lost my son.
He was killed in this taxi.
they took some change and his life.
My grandson...
is less than one year old.
Only the boy and his mom are left.
We help them, you know?
But it's so silly...
because he won't have a father.
True or no?
It's true.
Look at them...
This one is Marisa, my daugther in law...
she takes care of him alone...
she's a strong woman,
she has italian blood, you know?
But they still can be happy,
you know, Mr....?
I am Alvaro, Alvaro, at your disposal...
They will be happy, yes...
they deserve it...
What is your name?
It's Luis lnacio,
but you can call me Lula.
Lula.
-Lula.
-Ziza...
What happened, why this face?
-The things are getting serious!
-What happened?
Two colleagues of mine were caught
there in Santo Andre.
-The pressure is great now!
-Leave it, Ziza!
Damn it, leave it,
you still don't get it...
we won't be able to face the militars.
God, against the brazilian army,
with a dozen of people!
If the workers had
the least of conscience...
and again you complain
about the others, right?
What are the chances that this
bunch of people will have conscience?
But they manage to survive!
We need support.
-And you are the leader of the syndicate.
-The leader of what?
Some don't trust me because
they consider me a comunist.
Others consider that i am too
into Feitosa. lider...
Didn't you become his
pawn, Lula?
Ok. Sorry, sorry, sorry...
-It's ok...
-Are you mad at me?
No, nothing like that.
I even think that you are right.
-One moment, one moment!
-Don't one moment me!
Feitosa?
My board!
No board, Feitosa!
What is this with
belieing me in the bulletin?
You can go, Margareth, you can go. Ok?
-She is cute, isn't she?
-Don't cute me!
Then i go there and say that the
factory is wrong and you say no?
Cleaning the bar of the guys, damn it!
But they have to fulfill what
they agreed in in their contracts!
Do you know what they thought,
they thought that we...
started the strike, you see!
And if you needed to start, Feitosa?
If you needed to start!?
Are you crazy, men,
we are under a military dictatorship!
If we start a strike, they put
a mouse in a bottle...
...and make you sit on the top!
-Don't be a coward, Feitosa!
-Be careful how you speak to me, huh?!
-Don't take me with that, damn it...
You are being weak! We can pass
over them, Feitosa!
What is it? Are you a truck now,
to pass over somebody?
There is so much more, see?
Am I right, Geraldao?
There is, yes, you are from
the Metalurgical Union, damn it!
Like you didn't know about it...
Yes, but now the Union,
is going to Maua, Claudio
-But there is a way to solve this.
-Like what?
What do you mean, there is a way?
They won't cancel my register.
-What do you mean?
-They won't dismiss me...
nor change my address, understand?
Gosh, i don't understand anything!
They will forget me here, understand?
-But it's against the law, Feitosa, damn it!
-Ah, son of a bitch!
Against the law? Brazil, Lula!
We are in Brazil! My apprentice!
No apprentice!
Listen...
...listen to me, Feitosa!
-Calm down, people, calm down!
Somebody needs to start doing the things
different here. The situation is like this...
you stay until the end of your mandate,
after, after you go!
Next time, it's Lula who will be
the president of the sydicate.
-Is this a threat, is it?
-No, it's not a threat.
Damn it, Feitosa, what did you tell
me when you invited me here?
That i wanted fresh blood around here.
And then. Now it's us, the
fresh blood, who will take the lead around here.
And, if you don't want
the things to get worse than they are...
learn to sneak out of here.
Let's go.
Listen to me! You will become a candidate
only with my support, understand?
With my support!
Sit down, Margareth,
it's not for you, no.
The employer can not cut down
the medical asistance like that.
-But the company claims it has this right.
-Look, this is actually happening:
we are already negotiating with our
judicial department. Well...
because a company
of these dimenssions...
and with the quality that it always
offered to the workers...
it can't just over night...
pass the responsibility
to the State.
Can the operators use
other resourses?
They can and the have to try
to use everything they have at their hand...
to gain their rights.
Is this the position of the syndicate?
Of course it is.
-Excuse me, sorry.
-Thank you.
You can go, i will attend her.
Can you please give me your ID,
please?
-My lord! But you are really a widow?
-That's written there, isn't it?
So young! But, for God's sake,
how did it happen?
My husbant was killed in his Taxi.
Excuse me, but i am a
little in a hurry.
Ah, yes, sure.
No, my Lord, how is it possible?
Look, it will last a while.
It's because of this change in
the social law, you know?
No, because the stamp,
the stamp is the endorsment of the entity...
for this syndicate,
where i am the first secretary.
But trust me,
i will solve the case.
Stamped, ready!
Thank you.
Listen, would you like
to have a cup of coffee?
No, i didn't have lunch yet.
Great, i am starving.
Will you have lunch with me?
No.
You know, i am impressed.
You are very young,
you have your entire life ahead of you.
Thank you.
And where do you live?
Me?
I live... around here
in Eldorado, you know it?
-But i live with my mom.
-I live with my mom too.
You are the daughter in law of Mr. Alvaro, right?
You lost your husbant fulishly...
and now you are growing your son alone?
Are you Lula?
Excuse me, but i still
can't believe it.
We became widowers almost
in the same time, you know?
My son...
If he was alive...
he would be the same age as yours.
We both live with our moms...
it's a big coincidence, no?
Will you give me your phone number?
Marisa leticia.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
You must be Marisa's mom,
Mrs....
-Mrs. Lais.
-Mrs. Lais, right.
Pleased to meet you.
I am Lula.
Lula?
-I am Marisa's boyfriend.
-Boyfriend?
Would You please call her?
Because we are a little bit late.
Thank you.
Good evening.
And who do you want to talk to?
I am Marisa's friend.
And what do you want from her
at this hour?
-We are going to dance.
-Uh, man, she didn't let you know?
I wonder what did i have to
let Beto know about?
That you will go out
with your boyfriend.
-Didn't I say he said boyfriend?
-Yes, I said.
Gosh, what are you
looking at me like this?
Marisa, the dances probably already started!
But then go, Beto,
before it ends, man.
Good luck, man.
Pleased to meet you.
Now you can leave, ok?
But keep it in the shadow.
-Complicated woman, huh?
-Gosh, Beto!
What did you do now?
Excuse me.
No, really excuse me, just that...
its almost difficult to say that... you know,
it's not every day that we...
every day...
moreover, it is once or twice in your life
when we can meet someone.
And I am very scared that i could
lose you, Marisa.
-But you just met me.
-So, that's why.
When someone knows what they want,
they have to go search for it.
You know, Marisa,
I won't lie to you.
That's good.
I am still young...
but i have a son to grow.
-I am not here to full around.
-No, nor me.
You know, you are a very beautiful woman.
To be honest,
I was never so close...
to such a beautiful woman
like you are.
And nervous!
But i like nervous women,
you know?
Stirs the people.
Be careful, huh, Luis lnacio?
I am...
i am puting myself to risk.
It's me who is puting herself to risk.
And now the speach of the fiance!
Speach! Speach! Speach!
Everyone came here today...
because we want the best
for our category!
We are here today to make a change!
to make a change!
But this doesn't mean...
that we have to change
the entire team too.
Because, to be fair...
it's thanks to Claudio, that is present here...
the doors of the syndicate were opened.
Calm down, people!
it's not enought, but it's not enought,
and it's logical that its not enought!
We know it very well.
Everyone here knows that this syndicate
needs fresh blood!
And everyone here is
already with hot blood!
Our blood is getting on fire!
I know that!
You can see that it is possible to get there
and to get there...
means to sit at the negotiation table
with the employers...
and look in the face of each one of them
who will be sitting in front of us.
Lula! Lula! Lula! Lula!
People...
it is important that each one of you
sitting here knows...
that the workers are not left...
and definitely not right.
The most important for us...
is to provide and take care
of our families.
So...
this directorate is predisposed...
to negociate with each employer.
it is important that each one
of you knows...
that here noone,
absolutely noone...
isn't the enemy of the employers.
In the end they are paying
our salaries, aren't they?
My son, congratulations!
May God help you, mu son.
Look...
go easy on the litter,
because the saint is made of clay.
Did you understand, huh?
Sure, mom.
See?
Very well!
Very well!
Here, yes!
Let's fill the glasses!
Come on, come on!
Today, noone stays with an empty glass, huh?
-To the new syndicate!
-To the new syndicate!
Let me see that paper here,
let me see.
''Approved in a memorable meeting...
with a 6 years fight
of our syndicate''...
My son, help!
My son, help!
they took Ziza, my son!
they took him!
He went to buy bread...
and they took him like that...
Do something!
They say that they will kill my son!
They say they will kill him!
I will do something about it.
go! Go, go, go,
go do something!
-Are you Luis lnacio?
-Yes, it's me.
But i want to find out
about my brother.
I know exactly
what you want.
-So you don't like this country?
-Not the way it is.
-And you think you can do better?
-Look, I am just a simple worker.
Worker, right? And the president
of the syndicate is a wrker too?
what an insolence.
And after that they say
that it's not a democratical country.
A communist is caught.
Another communist comes, his brother,
to ask information.
is it or no a fucking
democracy
Listen, fist of all
I am not a communist.
Second is that the family
has the right to know...
where my brother Jose is.
He... and you... have some luck.
They almost broke
my brother in half.
Ziza didn't do any harm to anyone.
You know what i wonder? I wonder
what is the logic?
Damn it, he works since
he was 10 years old.
What was this cowardice for,
can you tell me?
But what can you do?
I don't know.
But it's getting more and more difficult
to separte the things.
Soon, except the salary...
the workers will want
freedom too.
You will see.
The fact is that, for a banch
of sociologs...
you are only designers
of the club!
Let me see.
Look at this, Lula.
Oh, no, damn it, you are crazy!
It's one thing to do a salarial campaing
inside the syndicate.
But to convoke the workers
is something else.
This is against the law, Lula!
it's an insult to the govern!
Arnaldo is right.
Listen, people, I am the representative
of the workers...
not of those who are making the laws.
The repression will fall
heavily on us.
This will end up in chains.
So what?
Chains were made for men!
it is important that everyone knows
that this is not a recreational guild.
We are leading
the syndicate of the metallurgical workers.
Let's go guys, let's go!
Don't be affraid to get arrested!
The chains were made for people!
We are living all of this
toghether, damn it.
Let's go, comrades,
the fight is of all of us, right?
For a better salary!
-But where did it start?
-At the sqeezers and on the lathes, my brother.
How many are not working in general?
The entire factory!
What do you expect, my brother?
Today not even the wheelbarrow
of the line came out.
Look, it is important...
for everyone to know that we
are puting our hand in the vespiary!
Everybody has to be
aware of this.
Lula?
-What did he die of?
-I don't know.
I think because of the alchohol, no?
He was burried in a pauper
there in Santos.
It's ok, no problem.
I don't have anything in common with him.
Actually, i have, i have, yes.
Because... i inherited
the kindness from my mother...
but all the malice is from him.
Aristides died.
God rest his soul, right, my son?
The things are ugly out there,
right, my son?
No, not yet, mom?
But it can get.
We are going now to
the stadium of Vila Euclides.
Who will be playing there today?
No, there won't be any game, no, mom.
We will have a meeting of the syndicate
there.
For God's sake, my son...
take care!
We know what
we are doing, mom.
Ai, Jesus.
Lula! Lula! Lula!
Lula! Lula!
The united workers
will never be defeated...
Comrades...
there is one important thing:
Everything that i will be saying
should be passed ...
from the people in front
to those behind.
Pass it behind.
So that everyone that
is here can hear...
otherwise we won't manage anything.
The problem is...
The problem is...
They consider us fools!
They consider us fools!
They think that we don't read!
They think that we don't read!
-That we don't inform ourselves!
-That we don't inform ourselves!
But they are very wrong!
But they are very wrong!
They... don't want to give anything!
They don't want to give anything!
-Nothing!
-Nothing!
They want us to work
more and more!
They want us to work
more and more!
They want us to negotiate!
They want us to negotiate!
And we will negotiate!
But how will we negotiate?
But how will we negotiate?
How, i am asking,
how...
will we negotiate, comrades?
-By stopping!
-By stopping!
We will negotiate by stopping!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Now i want to ask each one
of you that is here...
raise your hand.
So that they understand
once and for all...
that the decision isn't Lula's,
but of the workers of ABC!
another thing is important...
outside there are a lot of policemen.
outside there are a lot of policemen.
Soon we will
be going home.
Soon we will
be going home.
it's important that nobody...
absolutely nobody,
let's himself provoked!
it's important that nobody...
We have to remember that we are
workers and honest.
So, now we will be going
home, may God be with us.
Have a nice Sunday,
but don't forget...
we will stop, but let's stop
united, let's stop together!
Together!
The freedom sun
in shining rays
Shined on the sky of the homeland
in this moment
If the pledge...
Now everything is elapsing
in the most porfect order...
at the exit, in march,
thousands of workers...
were surprised by
the violent repression of the policemen.
Before he could leave
the stadium...
Lula was sourrounded by journalists.
The minister of Work
declared that there...
the syndicate was precipitated...
Did you hope that he will declare
something else?
They have to declare this.
What is the position of the syndicate?
The syndicate is on the workers side,
always.
It's Lula! It's Lula, mom!
And you didn't tell me anything?
I wanted that he
had a profession, right?
I didn't know that they will talk
about him like this.
I am sorry to say this, but the governator
doesn't know what he says.
Mom, take it, You have to eat,
don't you want to have lunch anymore.
It's ok, darling, leave it there.
Leave it there, leave it there!!
It's hot in here.
-Where is mom?
-She's in there.
Luis!
Come here, let me look at you.
Did they hurt you?
You never change, right, mom?
In a time like this...
and you are still worried with me?
-Take me home.
-Calm down, mom...
you need to rest,
they will only run some tests.
I don't want to.
Look, all i want...
is a decent burial,
that's all, my son.
Can you stop with this, ok?
It will happen, my son.
Some time it will happen...
but everything will be fine.
I am so proud of you.
Are you scared, are you?
Scared?
I am not, no...
Look, my son...
don't doubt yourself.
You got so far already.
Look, we always do
what we can do.
Even when it's not enought,
you know what to do...
Go there and do it.
But, if it's not possible...
Hope, ok?
Be patient.
The world is rotating, rotating...
The opportunity will stop
right in your hands.
that's how it is.
the impasse between the metallurgical
workers from ABC...
and their employers is getting
every time bigger proportions.
Without permission, the leaders of the
syndicate and other operators...
are camped in the
building of the syndicate.
To assure public order,
the brazilian govern...
sent a strong military team
to surround the building...
to persuade the workers to
return to normality.
I'll be back soon, Mr. Alvaro.
He recognizes you, see, Luis lnacio?
I didn't bring you just
clothes to change, no.
Here! I made a little snack too.
We are there suffering
a terrible pressure!
Our syndicate is sorrounded
by armoured vehicles!
A lot of militaries are watching
our syndicate!
New information directly from
Sao Bernardo do Campo.
The demands made by
the syndicate of the metallurgits...
continue being denied...
and the workers don't show any sign
that they plan to give up.
That's why, the millitary pressure
is increasing...
and the impasse is worring more and more
the brazilian society.
They are there, they will invade
any moment now, damn it!
Attention, we have orders
to evacuate the building!
People, listen,
i know that it is difficult, but...
We will have to sotp this strike!
it's time to be smart!
What will we be doing
if this strike continues for months?
How will our comprades
pay their bills?
But, if we go back now, we can still
negotiate the striking days.
You are a traitor.
You are a traitor!
-You are a traitor!
-Shut up, you! Damn it!
Calm down, people!
Calm down, people!
We have orders
to evacuate the building!
Attention, let's go out!
You know what to do...
then just go and do it.
But, if you can't...
wait.
Look at our syndicate!
Fucking traitor!
You are to blame, Lula!
Lula traitor!
Saturday, 23rd of march 1979.
Lula , the leader of the metallurgists...
leaves the syndicate restricted
by the govern.
On this football stadium,
the metallurgists...
had their meeting
of about 100 thousand participants.
With intervention,
the stadium was overtaken by the policemen.
Today, we are using our church
to be able to make our movement...
and we are going until the end. With Lula
or wihtout Lula, all of us are a Lula.
Ei, son...
You have so many obligations, right?
The most important of all...
is never to forget
where are you coming from.
You know?
Comrades!
This directorate...
is here for the class...
and for you.
But, because the class doesn't seem
to be happy with our attitude...
to stop the strike...
then, what we have to do...
is let the decision in your
hands...
to those, who really are
those that matter.
Comrades, we go forward together...
we fight together!
What this directorate understood...
is that we would get very delayed...
if we lose everything
we have gained...
and took the decision
based on that thought.
Now, in order for
this directorate to continue...
then we need...
we need...
a vote of trust!
Lula! Lula! Lula!
The united workers
will never be defeated!
Sunday, again with Lula
leading the movement...
in the Cathedral of Sao Bernardo.
Jesus Christ, the workers of ABC
were forced to start a strike...
to get a small increase
in their salaries.
Jeez, the women
are working!
Wait, wait.
Lula, the journalists want
to know if there will really be a strike?
But it doesn't depend on us.
Look, tell them that, if there will be a strike...
it won't be only against the employers, no,
it will be against the regime too.
Now, Lula said several times...
that tomorrow or later, for example,
everyone can get locked.
And from there on, how
will the movement go?
Dear workers.
I know exactly how many promisses
you already heard...
and that plenty of them couldn't be
materialized in facts and realizations.
But i wouldn't hesitate to apply
the existing laws...
agains situations that are threatening...
the security of the brazilian family.
Luis lgnacio?
Open this door!
Stay calm.
Don't worry.
As my mom says,
''things will get better''.
Comrades, at 6:30 in the morning...
in his house.
Lula is now...
in a prison in Sao Paulo.
What now, huh, Lula?
This is cowardice!
Cowardice of those that have the power!
What will we do?
Lula, Lula, Lula!
Tiana, what are they saying about him there?
Ah, i know it's nothing good, right?
But nobody tells me anything.
Oh, mom!
It's nothing like that, no.
Then, why didn't Luis
come to visit me here anymore?
Lula is traveling, mom,
i already told you that...
work for the syndicate.
Mrs.Lindu?
Like this, my son.
Mrs. lindu, come here.
Here, boy.
I only know one thing, people.
Those that are outside can't forget
not even for one second...
that we are locked in here.
Damn it, we have the public opinion
on our side!
We can't forget about it
not even for one second.
What is the public opinion worth
in a dictatorship, damn it?
It's worth, yes! Why wouldn't it worth?
It's worth, yes.
They just managed to aprove
the amnesty law.
Why?
It's worth, it's worth, yes,
it will worth more and more!
How are the kids?
They are fine.
And my mom, is she fine?
She is the same.
Son...
everything will be fine now, ok?
I feel so well.
Listen, i never felt
as well before.
Things will get better.
Persis! it's all about persisting!
You are going, but you'll come back.
Look, it's Lula there.
Go Lula, you are right!
Comrades! If they don't release Lula,
nobody will work!!
After 31 days in prison, Lula was released on
presidency 3 times but he wasn't elected. He hoped...
"I believe in a big future
On 1st january 2003, Lula dedicated his biggest
win ever, to one person in special.
"Because our happiness is bigger
than our pain."
"Our power is bigger
than our misery."
Our hope is bigger
than our fear.
I believe in women and men...
that, just like my beloved mother,
Lindu...
will never get cowered
in front of life.
To you, my mom,
i dedicate this diplom...
of president of the Rebublic
that i just received.
