Doomed Love Um Amor de Perdição
This could be the story of an encounter between Simão and Teresa, under the background of a conflict between two families of the Portuguese bourgeoisie ...
Simão is an almost childlike, lonely, uncompromising, narcissistic, destructive, suicidal teenager who attracts like a fatal aura or a black light most of the people he meets.
But does Teresa exist, or is she just an idea, an image, a reflection? Teresa is an apparition. A pretext for an amoral and violent revolt, for "Doomed Love".
