Amor de Perdição

Perhaps the height of Portuguese romanticism, Amor de Perdic?o is a Portuguese Romeo and Juliet. Sim?o Botelho and Teresa are hopelessly in love, but their families are rivals in Viseu. When Teresa?s father, Tadeu, discovers their love, he shuts her in a convent. But, while trying to see his beloved, Sim?o kills Baltasar, and eventually condemned to death. The sentence is commuted to 10 years of service in India, but before the sentence is executed, both Teresa and Sim?o die of broken hearts.
