"Feature film from Portugal. Mystery. A jealous countess, a wealthy businessman, and a young orphan encounter a variety of mysterious characters as they traverse Portugal, France, Italy and Brazil."
""Mysteries of Lisbon plunges us into a veritable whirlwind of adventures and escapades, coincidences and revelations, sentiments and violent passions, vengeance, love affairs, all wrapped in a rahapsodic voyage that takes us from Portugal to France, Italy, and as far as Brazil. In this Lisbon of intrigue and hidden identities, we encounter a series of characters all somewhat linked to the destiny of Pedro da Silva, orphan in a boarding school. Father Dinis, a descendent of the aristocratic libertines, later becomes a hero who defends justice, a countess maddened by her jealousy and set on her vengeance, a prosperous businessman who had mysteriously made his fortune as a bloodthirsty pirate; these and many more all cross in a story set in the 19th century and all searching for the true identity of our main character"--It's Just Movies website."

"Une traversée de l'histoire du XIXe siècle aux côtés d'un orphelin, d'un curé étonnant, d'une comtesse assoiffée de vengeance et d'un pirate devenu homme d'affaires. Un feuilleton romanesque enthousiasmant..."
"The story opens and closes with a voice-over belonging to a man you come to know as Pedro da Silva, but initially known as a 14-year-old called "just João". Believing himself an orphan, he lives in a boarding school run by the kind, bluntly spoken Father Dinis, whose cassock and tender manner obscure an adventurous, thorny past. That history comes to light over the course of the movie and through a great many melodramatic incidents involving desperate women, dastardly men and overheated emotions."--Manohla Dargis."
"Set in nineteenth-century Portugal, the illegitimate son of two members of the aristocracy tries to discover the truth of his parentage."
