Introduction: Based on a non-fiction work of the same title, this film focuses on the last 24 hours before the end of the war, including a conflict in the government's Upper Cabinet and a coup d'etat planned by young military officers. Through bold direction and enthusiastic performances by an all-star cast, this monumental work approximates the historical facts of the final day of the war. The film's two-and-a-half hours will pass fraught with tension. (1967 / 157min.)
