Teresa Menezes

L'amour tragique de deux hommes pour une femme dans le Portugal aristocratique du milieu du siecle dernier. Troisieme d'une tetralogie de l'amour frustre comprenant "le Passe et le Present" (1972), "Benilde ou la Vierge mere" (1975) et "Amour de perdition" (1978), drame qui revela le cineaste portugais au public francais.

Episodes from throughout the entire military history of Portugal are told through flashbacks as a conscripted student of history recounts them to his fellow soldiers while they march through an African colony in revolt during 1973.
