Portuguese filmmaker Raul Ruiz directed this epic-scale adaptation of Camilo Castelo Branco's historical novel about
people looking for truth behind each other's facades in 19th century Portugal. Father Dinis (Adriano Luz) is a man of
faith who often finds himself trading one personality for another as he serves different people in different ways.
When Joao (Joao Luis Arrais), a teenager born out of wedlock and raised in an orphanage, begins asking questions about
his parents, Dinis arranges for him to be introduced to his mother, who turns out to be a wealthy
countess, Angela
(Maria Joao Bastos). While Angela is married, her jealous and short-tempered husband is not the father, and when word
spreads that she is carrying another man's child, the Marquis of Montezelos (Rui Morisson) arranges for the biological
father to be killed and hires an outlaw named the Knife-Eater (Ricardo Pereira) to murder the child
after it is born.
However, the plan goes awry, and in time the Knife-Eater redeems himself; meanwhile, the unexpected connections between
the characters evolve with the passage of time. Misterios de Lisboa (aka Mysteries of Lisbon) was an official selection
at the 2010 New York Film Festival.
