The Mystery of Sintra

Directed by Jorge Paixão da Costa

Written by Newton Cannito, Jorge Paixão da Costa, Nuno Vaz, Mário Botequilha, Tiago Borralho

Summer of 1870. Two writers, Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão, decide to write a four-handed whodunit for the daily "Diário de Notícias". Could it be that the story they wrote as fiction is based on a real case? This question fuels the conflict between the two writers and drives them to a nearly fatal duel. Lisbon is in commotion. One crime follows another in a story in which love is stronger than tradition. Everything happens at frenzied pace, as in a game.
