Based on Eça de Queirós' novel of the same name (published in 1875, amidst great controversy and protests from the Catholic Church), "The Crime of Father Amaro" is a series of six 45-minute episodes. The plot is set in Leiria in the late 1860s and follows the story of the forbidden passion between Amaro, a young priest, and Amélia "the most beautiful girl in Leiria". Tense, emotional and anchored in personality conflicts, the series "O Crime do Padre Amaro" takes a critical look at society and the church in Portugal, in 19th century Leiria.
