João Vidal
Miguel Nunes
He studied engineering at the Instituto Superior Técnico, in Portugal. He served in the Army for two years, and had two more years of commission in Angola. His family belongs to the Lisbon elite. When in the African war, João’s political convictions changed, and he ends up turning towards the left, once confronted with the atrocities perpetrated on both sides and became aware of the system of social exploitation promoted by the regime, which became even more evident when he arrived at the colonies. Once back home he starts attending clandestine Communist Party meetings until he is recruited by a family friend, Alexandre, to become an agent at the service of the KGB. Taking into consideration the dangerous nature of the mission that takes him to the RARET, he intents not to connect with anyone emotionally, but it will happen. It will first happen with Mia, who trains him as an agent, and it will then happen with Carolina, a girl from the village.
