Samenvatting in het Engels

Erros Meus, Má Fortuna, Amor Ardente brings us a story from a small, rural village in the interior of Portugal where, by reason of a funeral, people from all parts of the region are arriving. Maria is a young woman from that village, unsatisfied with her marriage with João, who has never given her a child: her biggest desire. By cause of the funeral, Carlos arrives, and his arrival and Maria's emancipated behavior generate distrust from the other villagers. Maria, a serious, beautiful and virtuous woman, loved by every man in the village and hated by all the women, awakes in João the weakness of jealousy, and in Carlos the weakness of an old love.
