Synopsis
Once Upon a Time There was a Carnation is a book in the form of a poem, with verses by José Jorge Letria and illustrations by André Letria, all in black and white, with the exception of the red carnations. Narrated from the point of view of a carnation, the book tells us about its journey on the morning of the 25th of April 1974. The stage is set by Plataforma 285, but it is André Loubet who gives voice to the encounters of this flower with a florist, a soldier and many other citizens of a Portugal waking up to freedom.
