“A luxe, romantic drama” —Vancouver Courier
Hidden passions and devastating secrets abound in this sumptuous Portuguese-language series set in 1936 at the opulent Vidago Palace hotel, a haven for Europe’s elite from the Spanish Civil War erupting across the border. Young aristocrat Carlota (Mikael Lupu) is engaged to marry the wealthy César (Pedro Barroso) and save her high-ranking family from bankruptcy, but her heart is preoccupied with thoughts of Pedro (David Seijo), the handsome son of the hotel’s concierge who has left home for battle. Separated by social class and war, Carlota and Pedro have decided to live their lives apart, but when a fateful chain of events brings them together again, Carlota must decide her destiny.
Nominated for numerous European TV awards, this sweeping saga gleams with gorgeous scenery and exquisite period detail.
