Céu Aberto

When Brazil was coming out from its dictatorship period, the first civilian president after 20 years of military rule, Tancredo Neves, got ill with a strange infection and finally died on 21st April 1985 before taking office. Knowing political stability could get compromised, before dying, he tried to look healthy, and the press also helped with the farce. The documentary is about his slow public agony and death.
