6 x 45’
Based on the novel of the same name by Eça de Queirós (published in 1875, in the midst of great controversy and protests of the Catholic Church), “O Crime do Padre Amaro“ is a series of 6 episodes of 45 minutes.
The plot unfolds in the Portuguese city of Leiria, at the end of the 1860s and follows the story of forbidden love between Amaro, a young priest, and Amélia “the most beautiful girl in Leiria”.
Tense, emotional and anchored in personality conflicts, the series “The Crime of Father Amaro” is an ever-current vision of human relations and of a hypocritical and puritan society of the 19th century.
