Getulio

On August 5, 1954, gunmen ambush the journalist Carlos Lacerda (Alexandre Borges) on a Rio de Janeiro street, and Major Vaz is killed in his place. Suspicion lands on the president's own guard, and João Jardim follows Getúlio Vargas (Tony Ramos) through the nineteen days that follow, with his daughter Alzira (Drica Moraes) beside him. The film shows how a man who has held power for decades learns what it costs to keep it.
