A Santa Aliança

Mar 19, 1980
In 1974, not long after the death of Portuguese dictator Salazar, who had ruled Portugal from the early '30s to the late '60s, a group of disgruntled Army officers held a coup. They were even more disgruntled when they realized how the coup was being manipulated by leftist officers to instigate genuine elections and establish a constitution for the first time in Portuguese history. Though their intent was to form a radical socialist state, circumstances prevented this, and a genuine parliamentary democracy emerged. This film explores the circumstances of a right-wing businessman during those times. The man is an old-fashioned authoritarian, whose attentiveness to the needs of his mistress, wife and son is crude where it exists at all.

Liens de Sang, c’est l’histoire de deux sœurs que le destin a séparées, et qui se retrouvent bien plus tard… Inès et Marta sont deux sœurs qui n’ont cependant pas grandi ensemble. Séparées dans leur enfance, chacune a fait son chemin de son côté, et à l’âge adulte, elles se retrouvent enfin. Mais cela n’a rien de joyeuses retrouvailles : les circonstances font aujourd’hui d’elles des ennemies. La présence entre elle et João, un séduisant jeune homme, ne vient évidemment pas arranger les choses… Il y a quelques années de cela, un drame s’abat sur la paisible famille Nogueira. En effet, lors d’un Pique-nique familiale au bord de la rivière, leurs deux fillettes Ines et Marta tombent à l’eau et sont emportées par le courant. Leur père se jette à l’eau et réussit à sauver l’aînée Inès. Dans sa tentative désespérée de sauver la cadette Marta, il y perd la vie et le corps de Marta n’est jamais retrouvé. En dépit de la souffrance que sa famille a traversée et le sentiment de culpabilité qui l’a toujours animée pour avoir été sauvée au détriment de sa sœur, Ines est aujourd’hui une femme battante, déterminée, aimable et généreuse. Lorsqu’elle et Joao se rencontrent, ils comprennent qu’ils sont faits l’un pour l’autre. Cet amour sera mis à rude épreuve avec l’arrivée de Diana. Diana est en réalité la sœur d’Ines, Marta que tout le monde croyait morte dans l’accident qui a coûté la vie à leur père Joaquim. Traumatisée à la suite de l’accident, la petite Marta est recueillie par une modeste famille, qui l’adopte en la baptisant Diana. Des années plus tard, lorsque la mémoire lui revient, Diana décide de retourner dans sa véritable famille et de se venger de sa sœur Ines, qu’elle juge d’une part responsable de la mort de leur père et d’autre part responsable de la vie misérable qu’elle a été contrainte de mener.
