It is a fiction show about the period after April 25th, 1974.
Representing this troubled period in the history of Portugal is a difficult task, more so when it addresses a sensitive subject as was the return home of the Portuguese who lived in the former colonies, more pejoratively known as returnees. I have never met nor the reality of Portuguese who were stripped of their lives in Africa, not the country that welcomed them with little open arms, as I was just a baby. "After Goodbye" more than a fiction show is the portrait of a nation in constant political and social turmoil, where it was necessary to cement the idea of democracy. I think for the people who lived in the skin all these tragic events should still find it very painful to relive those moments through the characters of the series. For me as a viewer has been a real treat to see good fiction on national public television and I hope this trip back in time could help us heal some wounds still to heal.
