Adaptation of Miguel Torga's iconic short stories. An intimate look at a rural community in the 1940s.

Five portraits of humble lives with enormous resistance to suffering - and a capacity for violence that, at times, proves impossible to repress.

We are in 1320, in the newly formed country we call Portugal. Isabel, the Holy Queen, is the wife of Dinis, the king, and mother of Afonso, the heir, both involved in a civil war that affects everyone.

António is a farmer who leaves his land to go to the city where his son Jorge lives. However, unlike a perfect portrait, the patriarch finds a life of lies, a broken marriage and Pedro, a grandson with dangerous attitudes. It all translates into a life of broken dreams.
