Synopsis "La Viuda"

Tras la muerte de su marido, María Leonor, una joven madre de dos hijos, se siente abrumada ante las dificultades para administrar su hacienda en el Alentejo, las expectativas de la sociedad y el férreo control de su entorno. Tras unos meses sumida en una profunda depresión, decide afrontar su responsabilidad como propietaria de las tierras, pero su corazón está atormentado por un pecado secreto: a pesar del duelo, su deseo no se ha apagado. Entre cavilaciones sobre la esencia del amor, el paso del tiempo y los deslumbrantes cambios en la naturaleza, pasa las noches en vela, espiando los amores de sus criadas y padeciendo la soledad entre sus sábanas. Hasta que un día dos hombres muy distintos irrumpen en su vida y su destino se tambalea inesperadamente.
