Synopsis

A poet's eyes are special. They allow us to see the world in a different way from most people, sometimes sadder, sometimes more beautiful, but certainly the colors of life take on a unique tone, only superficially captured by many of those who allow themselves to delve into the verses of these people. specials.

Florbela Espanca stands out on the Portuguese literary scene not only for the beauty of her work, but for the way she lived. Her verses reflect the intensity of her life, driven by passions, in the pure sense of the term, that consume their bearer. And one of the biases in her work is exactly the symbolic reworking of her homeland, portrayed in her poetry in a unique way, in a way mirroring the author's actions.
