[The young girl, Antónia Margarida Castelo Branco, is handed over by her mother to Brás Telles de Meneses because of the obscure interests between rural aristocratic families in the North.
Brás is a ruined man, a bohemian with a reputation for violence and erratic behaviour. Antonia’s fortune is the first sacrifice made by the young wife. Fascinated by the man who humiliates and ill-treats her, she follows him in a pilgrimage to increasingly barren lands, to increasingly less hospitable houses.
The relationship grows in horror and misery. Antónia’s obstinate dedication is subjected to the regular tests of her husband’s cruelty and madness, culminating in the death of their new-born son from whom Brás refuses the assistance of a doctor. The look that Antónia now casts on Brás is different. Everything falls in ruins. Even Antónia’s faithful nurse leaves the couple. The mother tries to save her daughter and, once again, money and interests intrude upon Antónia’s life.
There is the pain of releasing the bond between them: several times one or other departs or returns. The suffering that forged the union is incurable. If Brás pursues her like a madman over hill and dale he manages to do no more than drop into a weary sleep in a boat Antónia rocks, abandonning him finally to the waters of the river. However, for her awaits the endless corridor of the convent.
