At about 4.5 hours this is one long drama. Set in Lisbon during the Napoleonic times, the story, or stories as there are several and all interconnected, surround the nobilities in that time period. It is heavy on doomed love affairs, and the effect they have on the abandoned children as they become adults. The pace is slow and there are many long takes. But the settings, the costume, and the acting are all top-notched. So if you have the time budget, and enjoy period drama, this one will be well worth your time. In Portuguese and French with subtitles.
