Plot
Portugal 1715/1739. Tortured at the age of twenty-one,[3] António José da Silva[4] rediscovers the meaning of life through puppet theatre. He marries Leonor Maria de Carvalho, a New Christian like him,[5] and frequents the aristocratic salons of the Enlightenment, which support him. An accusation of heresy against his cousin Brites Eugénia and the irreverent spirit of his comedies lead António José da Silva, once again, to the prisons of the Holy Office, together with his mother, Lourença Coutinho, and his wife.[6]
