The Crime of Father Amaro

Based on the novel of the same name by Eça de Queirós, this series takes place in Leiria at the end of the 1860s and follows the story of the forbidden love between Amaro, a young priest, and Amélia “the prettiest girl in Leiria”. Tense, emotional and anchored in personality conflicts, this series is an ever-present vision of human relationships and of a hypocritical and puritanical 19th century society.
