Synopsis:

Aged 13, Maria Noronha, daughter of Madalena de Vilhena and of Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, is an extremely pale and fragile girl, sick with high fevers and violent hemoptyses provoked by merciless tuberculosis. In order to alleviate her suffering, she gathers poppies from her garden, always carries them in her arms, and at night lays them on the pillows on her bed. But the poppies have a devastating effect. Her deep sleep is disturbed by terrible ghosts and hallucinations: the luxury and decadence of the Portuguese XVII century, the counter attack by the Jesuits and the terrible Inquisition, the madness and chastity of the king, the plague, the blood and the sperm, the violating of tombs, a disastrous and fatal battle... All that is left are ghosts.

Thirteen year-old Maria suffers from tuberculosis. To alleviate her suffering, she gathers poppies from her garden and lays them on her pillow at night. But the poppies have a devastating effect. Her sleep is disturbed by terrible ghosts and hallucinations from Portugal's violent past: the Inquisition, the luxury and decadence of the seventeenth century, and a disastrous, fatal battle...
