Between 1540 and 1794, the courts of Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and Évora burned 1,175 living people and imposed punishment on 29,590 human beings. However, the documentation of 15 of the 689 autos-de-fé disappeared ...
It was a cool, wet winter afternoon, when the moon peered through the clouds dramatically above the old Cathedral. Isabel had already left the University and was hurrying through the labyrinthine streets of her beautiful city of Évora. Whenever he could pass that way just to admire that incredible Gothic rose window and its Romanesque-Gothic style so peculiar but deep down what attracted it most was its aura of mystery.
And mystery was with her, she gathered all the legends that were told by those Alentejo lands many of them referred to by her old Grandmother since she was a child. As she thought about it, she looked once again at that full moon - beautiful scenery for a mystery movie! - She said to herself as she wondered for the hundredth time why in Portugal no movies were made with these beautiful monuments !

Entre 1540 e 1794, os tribunais de Lisboa, Porto, Coimbra e Évora queimaram 1.175 pessoas vivas e impuseram castigos a 29.590 seres humanos. No entanto, a documentação de 15 dos 689 autos-de-fé desapareceu ...
Estava um fim de tarde frio e húmido de Inverno quando a lua espreitava entre as nuvens de forma dramática encimando a velha Catedral. Isabel já tinha saído da Universidade e apressava o passo por entre as ruelas labirínticas da sua bela Cidade de Évora. Sempre que podia passava por aquele caminho só para admirar aquela incrível rosácea e o seu estilo Românico-Gótico tão peculiar mas no fundo o que mais a atraía era a sua aura de mistério.
E mistério era com ela, reunia todas as lendas que se contavam por aquelas terras alentejanas muitas delas referidas pela sua velha Avó desde que era criança.
Enquanto pensava nisto olhou mais uma vez para aquela Lua cheia - Belo cenário para um filme de mistério ! - Disse para si mesma enquanto se perguntava pela centésima vez porque razão em Portugal não se faziam filmes com estes belos monumentos !
