Synopsis
[edit | edit source]Maria do Mar and her husband, José, are young newlyweds living in a fishing village, Palheiros de Tocha, between Aveiro and Figueira da Foz. Their intimacy is disturbed, however, by a vow of chastity they took as a result of a storm that caused the shipwreck of José's father's boat.
