This film is divided into two chapters, "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise," telling the epic love story of the protagonist, Aurora (played by Laura Soveral), throughout her life. The capricious Aurora is now elderly and lives with her Black maid. Their neighbor is a kind elderly woman named Pila (played by Teresa Madruga). Pila often expresses her goodwill toward Aurora, but Aurora does not appreciate it. After Aurora's death, Pila and the maid discover a secret of hers—a letter she wrote to an old lover. Pila decides to send this letter to Aurora's lover, leading to the revelation of a long-buried tale—an unforgettable love and adventure story set in the African colonies. The film won the Alfred Award at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in 2012. German silent film pioneer Murnau shot a film of the same name in 1931, and this time, director Miguel Gomes pays tribute to the master Murnau.
