Overview

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.

00:56:56 You've been friends for too long to be divided over such a thing.

01:03:28 What are you talking about?

01:05:30 However unpleasant, that's how it was.

01:08:24 I confess, however, that, had I received it earlier

01:13:16 then for your cousin's sake, before he kills her.

01:18:44 Nothing special

01:24:23 Couldn't we allow these charming lovebirds to elope to Alexandria?
