Sinopse
The Natural Order of Things is a tale of two families and the secrets that bind them. The voices ofAntunes´ characters - an army officer being tortured in prison on charges of conspiracy; an elderly man, once a miner in Mozambique, now reduced to dreams of "flying underground"; a diabetic teenage girl and the middle-aged husband she despises; the officer´s illegitimate sister, locked away to haunt the house like Bertha Rochester in Jane Eyre - create a portrait of a disintegrating Portugal, a personal political history that attains the brilliance and surreality of Elias Canetti and Nikolai Gogol.
