Simonal: No One Knows How Tough It Was
2009, Portuguese. Directed by Calvito Leal & Cláudio Manoel & Micael Langer.
In a time of timeless and revolutionary talents, Wilson Simonal shined as nobody before and innovated as only a few could. All of a sudden, everything vanished. This film maps the spectacular trajectory of the ex-Army corporal that ruled as a monarch, and was condemned to ostracism for an offense to which he pleaded not guilty.
