4K Restoration
A faithful adaptation of Camilo Castelo Branco’s most famous novel. The impossible love of Simão Botelho and Teresa de Albuquerque, due to family rivalries, crossed with the resigned devotion of Mariana for Simão. A story set in the nineteenth century inspired by real people from Camilo’s own family, who were imprisoned in the Cadeia da Relação (Appeals Court), in Porto, where his uncle Simão had also been incarcerated.

Manoel de Oliveira (1908–2015) was a legendary Portuguese filmmaker whose career spanned over 80 years—from silent cinema to the 21st century. Known for his poetic, philosophical, and highly original style, Oliveira directed acclaimed works such as "Aniki-Bobó", "The Rite of Spring", and "Abraham’s Valley", often blending literature, theatre, and history. Celebrated at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, he received numerous international awards, including the Honorary Palme d’Or. Oliveira remained creatively active well past 100, leaving behind a singular legacy in world cinema.
