I believe this movie attempts to reset Eça de Queiroz's 1874 short story of the same name in 2009 Lisbon.
The movie came off as rather awkward and unbelievable. The elements are quite ludicrous: guy falls in love at first sight, uncle (most ridiculous of all characters) rejects the relationship for no reason at all, girl goes out with him behind her family's approval (even though she had no idea who she was going out with). You never connect with any of the characters. Anyways, the story goes on, too slowly, but no less strange.
