Overview

The Alentejo, 1980s. Luísa, still young, manages a family-inherited rural estate on her own. Although she has the support of her brother Alexandre, another sister, and her brother-in-law, the farm’s survival becomes increasingly difficult. While her brother-in-law advocates for transforming the estate into a luxury tourist retreat, Luísa resists the pressure to modernize. Meanwhile, Miguel, a young farmhand, falls in love with the landowner—whom everyone calls "the noblewoman"—in a relationship defined by class differences and the weight of tradition.
