In 1831 a young princess is forced to leave her home in Brazil and
follow her father into exile. After the forcible overthrow of her
tyrannical uncle, she is crowned Queen of Portugal and dutifully
and bravely lives out an existence that is informed by painful
experiences -- spiritual loneliness, revolts and opposition to her
rule, the early death of her own 'Prince Charming', the discovery
of her second husbands infidelity, the infant deaths of some of her
children -- and by saudade, the peculiarly Portuguese, melancholy
yearning for lost roots and ties that cannot be recovered, a
longing that ultimately proves fatal.
