The true story of the last years in the life of Lusitanian Romantic writer Camilo Castelo Branco who, afflicted by impending blindness, economic hardship, and emotional disappointments, ultimately committed suicide. Based on his letters, Manoel de Oliveira creates a film of rare severity that probes into and preserves the whole mystery of an artist’s agony in an objective way.
