This sprawling, epically scoped, labyrinthine novel adaptation from acclaimed Chilean director Raul Ruiz follows a jealous countess, a wealthy businessman, and a young orphaned boy across Portugal, France, Italy and Brazil where they meet a variety of mysterious individual in a series of subversively intersecting tales. "The plot begins with a teenage orphan, who through revelations about the people around him unlocks the secret of his own patrimony. Rife with false identities, stories within stories and surreal twists of fate, the film is opulently realised in breathtaking HD, and savours narrative conventions and fatal coincidences with the sardonic wisdom of a master storyteller."
