Beneath the Azulejos In the heart of 17th-century Lisbon, the lives of two artists from vastly different worlds intertwine beneath the intricate patterns of the city’s famous azulejos.

Edward, a foreign painter, arrives in Lisbon seeking inspiration, only to find himself captivated by both the city's vibrant art and Isabel's indomitable spirit. As their shared passion for art blossoms into a forbidden love, they must navigate the treacherous waters of a society that forbids their union. Faced with opposition from every corner, including threats from the church and society’s whispers, Isabel and Edward must decide if their love is worth risking everything.
