Renúncia

1982 · 1 season

A slow, earnest period melodrama of thwarted love and quiet scheming, with a somber romantic mood and a sense of inevitable tragedy.

Overview: Paris, 1862. Suzana has been promised in marriage to her cousin since childhood. However, Cirilo Davenport, a professor at the Sorbonne, falls in love with Madalena Vilamil, whom he met through Antero de Oviedo Vilamil.

Respecting their daughter Madalena's feelings, however, the parents eventually consent to her marriage to Cirilo.
