What is the movie?

The narrative takes place between the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. At the age of ten, Carlota Joaquina is promised to João, from Portugal. Talented and educated, the young princess is approved by the Spanish court and sent to Lisbon, where she comes across a much less glamorous destination than portrayed in the nobility’s paintings and protocols. John, of introspective temperament, prefers the sacred singing and the cultivation of flowers to the company of the new wife.

With the death of the heir prince and the aggravation of the mental health of Queen D. Maria I, the couple ends up elevated to the Portuguese throne. Amid the turbulence caused by the French Revolution and the threats of Napoleonic invasion, the Portuguese court holds a historic and silent escape to Brazil-an episode that marks a turnaround in the destination of the colony and gives rise to a new phase of Luso-Brazilian history.
