A Casa dos Fantasmas - Volume I Episodio do Tempo dos Francezes

On a bruised May afternoon in 1808, Portugal lies under a gathering storm. The sky is torn by jagged clouds, the last rays of sun fade behind hills, and a cold wind rattles the olive trees. In this uneasy silence the nation braces for the upheavals that the French invasion will bring, and the landscape itself seems to hold its breath.

The story follows a lone traveler who has just left a welcoming inn, his mule heeding the clatter of spurs as they push through the swollen fields of Cartaxo. The rain falls in thick drops, the thunder rumbles far away, and the road opens onto a vast, oddly gentle plain. Ahead looms the enigmatic house, a place that promises hidden histories and whispered legends, inviting the weary rider into a world where the ordinary and the uncanny intertwine.
