Synopsis:

No German review yet:
In 1870, two Portuguese writers, Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão, published in a Lisbon newspaper a fantastically overwrought mystery story involving counts and countesses, dashing English officers, Cuban beauties, betrayal, kidnapping, duelling, and the like. The serial took the form of letters from people involved in the events; the intent was to satirize and explode the corny clichés, conventions, and customs of romantic 19th-century Portuguese society. Much like Orson Welles's infamous War of the Worlds broadcast seven decades later, the fictional feuilleton was mistaken by many for fact, causing some minor panic and uproar amongst the populace. Director Jorge Paixão da Costa's clever film, made with an all-star Portuguese cast, adds a slightly different complicating twist as it dramatizes these events: here, the writers' pulp fiction hits too close to the truth for some powerful people, who believe that it is their sordid secrets that are being published!
