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.
