FLORBELA
Portugal, 1920. Florbela Espanca, a woman ahead of her time
and a famous poet, throws herself into a third marriage
after two failed experiences. She believes that to please
the new tender man in her life, she has to act as a
traditional housewife. So, she stops writing but soon feels
restless and frustrated. When her brother, Apeles, calls her
to Lisbon, she runs away from her too quiet home to join
him. Together they throw themselves into the dark side of
the capital: alcohol, political riots, open air balls and
their strong mutual attraction.
Florbela finds herself torn between two forces: the love of
her husband and the turmoil brought by Apeles. When the
latter dies, piloting a plan, her world collapses. Only one
thing can save her: writing.

Remarks by Secretary John Kerry
On the Occasion of Portugal Day
On behalf of President Obama and
the people of the United States, I congratulate the
people of Portugal as you observe Portugal Day.
The United States and Portugal share a close alliance,
which is grounded in centuries of friendship between our
two peoples. Our ties of amity are strengthened by our
shared democratic values, commitment to global economic
prosperity, and desire to work together to solve global
challenges.
We are grateful for our continued cooperation in NATO
and the United Nations, and are confident that our
partnership only will deepen in the years to come.
Portuguese culture has been a thread stitched throughout
my own life, from my wife, whose native language is
Portuguese and who taught me to speak some of that
beautiful language and even to cook her native dishes,
to southeastern Massachusetts, which I represented for
28 years in the United States Senate and which boasts
one of America’s largest Portuguese-American
communities.
For those reasons and many more, it’s with particular
pride on this Portugal Day - as you honor the great poet
Luís de Camões and the many other artists, authors, and
adventurers who have shaped your country - that I hope
you know that communities throughout the United States
celebrate along with you.
