葡萄牙名導Tiago Guedes第五部劇情長片以一幕美麗懾人的場景作為開場,靜謐的鄉村小鎮卻發生一連串慘案,永遠改變了Joao Fernandez的一生。20年後,葡萄牙受右翼的第二共和國政權統治,這時的Joao已是名富有的地主,並成為家族裡最具主見的領導人。由Joao帶領的家族勢力在接下來的40餘年,都將在葡萄牙歷史中佔有重要地位,不僅與動盪不定的政治、社會變遷相抗衡,家族埋藏已久的秘密與謊言也將水落石出。導演Guedes以19世紀葡萄牙文學家Jose Maria Eca de Queiroz的現實主義故事為主軸,創造出獨一無二的藝術視角,聚焦傳統大家族的內部關係如何受外在世界所影響,結果如同另一名19世紀文學家所言:「一切堅固的事物都終將煙消雲散」。
