Story
O Caderno Negro follows Laura (Lou de Laâge), a peasant maid, and Sebastian (Vasco Varela da Silva), an orphan in her care, as they navigate tumultuous lives amidst revolutionary intrigue in Europe during the late 18th century. Their journey takes them from Rome and Venice to London and Paris, with whispers of conspiracies from the clergy, military, and gentry. The story explores themes of fate, desire, duty, and the intertwined nature of their relationship.
Summary
Directed by Valeria Sarmiento, O Caderno Negro is a sumptuous period piece that serves as both an appendix to Raul Ruiz's Mysteries of Lisbon and a standalone grand meditation on the stories we construct about ourselves. Set against the backdrop of Europe at the twilight of the 18th century, it ponders the nature of fate, desire, and duty through the lives of its two protagonists.
