The Carnation Revolution was one of Portugal's most significant political changes, representing a crucial turning point in its history. In this article, we intend to explore how this event was reflected in film productions. For this, we selected two documentaries: "Torre Bela" (Thomas Harlan, 1977) and "As Armas do Povo" (Glauber Rocha, 1975), which were made during the events, to highlight the ambivalence of this historical process. We also included a fiction film, "Non ou a Vã Glória de Mandar" (Manuel Oliveira, 1990), which recalls Portuguese history through its defeats, promoting a reflection on the construction and improvement of the nation until the moment of the colonial war. Before these works, we highlight and analyze the echoes of this event from the historical perspective of Portuguese society, thus forming a kaleidoscope of narrative representations about the Carnation Revolution. To support part of our analyses, we dialogue with interpretations about the documentary and fictional languages that cinema involves, referencing Xavier (2013), Junqueira (2010), Ramos (2008) and the investigations into Hannah Arendt's Revolution (2014, 2010).
