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 b*tch!

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.
