Rita Azevedo Gomes, together with the famous writer Agustina Bessa-Luís, adapts the second of three short stories that Robert Musil wrote in the book Three Women (1924). This story follows the days of a noble portuguese woman (Clara Riedenstein) who, after marrying Baron Von Ketten (Marcello Urgeghe), remains in the castle waiting for her husband until the end of the war against the bishop of Trento.
From Musil's story comes the inspiration, the atmosphere of the film, but the focus, in the film, is placed on the stagnant life of the noble portuguese woman. The beauty of still time; paintings such as still lifes and Flemish paintings. However, and not because it's stopped, but because it's waiting, the battle of the portuguese can be much more devastating than the war of Baron Von Ketten.
