A mysterious inheritance will change the fate of several characters.
It is a suspense film of José Fonseca e Costa that I liked, but with some reluctance. The story revolves around an inheritance, which looks more like a poisoned gift in the beginning and so far so good. Then there are a series of mysteries that revolve around the main character's ancestors, Lino Rodrigues Pais, the heir to a farm in Alentejo filled with ghosts and ancient stories that should not be stirred much less revived and so far so good too. Then kick in the flashbacks to the past so that we should not drawn back and ended up in a brothel for a change and from there everything rushes to a somewhat abrupt end with an extra death, that in my point of view, did not have to happen. Fascination promises, but somewhat disappoints, because mixes at the same time the subject of the paranormal, with what after all is nothing more than a shakedown. I liked especially the soundtrack by António Pinho Vargas, who prints a lot of tension to the action of this film. Another one of my highlights goes to the actor Victor North, the protagonist, who created a great character for this family intrigue, which is not surprising, since he is a national reference in the art scene. Good movie!
