[In the year 1914 Francisco Teimas, a young Douro farmer, returns to his village, which ekes out a living selling port wine to the British colony of port wine tradesmen, in Oporto. Francisco's wife dies, and his life changes completely. He falls in love with Gracinda, his sister-in-law, and has to assume the leadership of the local peasants movement against the British and the Lisbon government, who persist in allowing southern wine to be sold as true 'port'. With the outbreak of the First World War in Europe, the Portuguese political situation deteriorates and the Douro farmers face starvation. The breaking point is reached when the farmers organise a mass protest in the district capital, Lamego. Soldiers open fire on the crowd, killing and wounding indiscriminately. Gracinda is among those who die. This tragedy puts an end to Francisco's dreams of happiness, there or anywhere, but the political repercussions ensure that the farmers can finally continue producing genuine 'port'.
