A Dickensian tale of lost parentage spanning across Europe and incorporating an ensemble cast is set to be a lush historical melodrama.
Raul Ruiz's masterful adaptation of the eponymous 19th century Portuguese novel (by Camilo Castelo Branco) evokes the complex intertwined narratives of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens.
The core story centers on Joao, the bastard child of an ill-fated romance between two members of the aristocracy who are forbidden to marry, and his quest to discover the truth of his parentage.
But this is just the start of an engrossing tale that follows a multitude of characters whose fates conjoin, separate and then rejoin again over three decades in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.
