    • Synopsis
    • "This past is an eternal present." Amores de Chumbo deals with a love triangle, questioning the limits of each other, facing of secrets and interrupted passions. Forty years separate Maria Eugênia, a writer from Pernambuco, based in France, from the couple Miguel and Lucia who have just celebrated a union of four decades. The return of Maria Eugênia raises doubts and suspicions that have been kept for a long time. Miguel, a sociology professor and former political prisoner, wants to face the truth and Lucia, his life partner who has dedicated herself to getting him out of prison, wants to escape from it. It is from the point of view of these three central characters that we relive the political and social history of the Military Dictatorship years in Brazil. A story that changed the course of many lives.
