English Summary:

The journey of Michael Padovic, a professor from the U.S., who arrives with his wife, Helene, at a Portuguese convent where he expects to find the documents needed to prove his theory: Shakespeare was born in Spain, not in England, and was Jewish. The main characters arrive at the convent where they are greeted by an enigmatic stranger who refers to himself as Baltar; he is the keeper of the convent. Other characters include a fisherman, the beautiful bookkeeper who is attracted to Dr. Padovic's work, and an elderly man who goes by the name of Balthazar.

French Summary:

Le Couvent (O Convento) est un film portugais réalisé en 1995 par Manoel de Oliveira, avec Catherine Deneuve et John Malkovich, tiré du roman As Terras do risco de Agustina Bessa-Luís.

Un professeur, après avoir étudié la vie de Shakespeare avec attention, élabore la thèse que celui-ci était espagnol et juif. Il se rend alors avec sa femme Hélène dans un couvent portugais, où il pense pouvoir trouver des documents confirmant sa thèse. Dans ce couvent, ils sont accueillis par un étrange gardien qui est leur hôte pendant tout le séjour.

Hungarian Summary:

Professzor Michael Padovic egy ősi portugál kolostorba utazik feleségével, Helene-nel, hogy megerősítse teóriáját, miszerint Shakespeare történetesen spanyol származású volt. Baltar, a kolostor bizarr őre egészen belehabarodik Helene-be, és sikeresen eltereli a professzor figyelmét azzal, hogy bemutatja a kolostor szépséges és fiatal levéltárosnőjének. Baltar feltárja sátáni énjét, Helene pedig féltékenységtől vezérelve használja fel Baltar sötét céljaira, ami sokkoló események sorozatát vonja maga után.
