Lisbon,
late 19th
Century. A diplomatic crisis that unfolds between Portugal and the United
Kingdom feeds deep anti-British feelings among the Portuguese. A feuilleton
entitled “The Mystery of the Sintra Road” is published in weekly instalments in
a popular newspaper. Letters to the editor of the “Diário de Notícias” newspaper feed the plot. Two prominent
Portuguese writers, Eça de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigão, are the authors of the
series, which becomes a great success. Many believe that the series, involving
a Portuguese Countess and a British officer is based on true events and
personalities of Lisbon’s society.
