Synopsis

In fascist Portugal of the late sixties a rich landowner leads an idle life of hunting (animals and women), drinking and enjoying himself. He owns everything and everybody around him not only the objects, the horses, the dogs, the land and the lagoon but also the people like his servants and his own beautiful wife whom he keeps secluded inside his house like an emulator of the old feudal lords. The triangle formed by him, his wife and his manservant is an ambiguous one and the tensions produced within it end up in a tragic outcome.

Awards: 2002: Montreal World Film Festival: nominated to Best Film - Grand prix of the Americas.
