Linhas de Wellington plot

On September 27, 1810, the French troops commanded by Marshal Massena were defeated in the Serra do Buçaco by General Wellington's Anglo-Portuguese army. Despite the victory, the Portuguese and British are forced to retreat from the French, who are numerically outnumbered, to lure them to Torres Vedras, where Wellington has built fortified lines that are barely overcome. At the same time, the Anglo-Portuguese command organizes the evacuation of the entire territory of the battlefield and the lines of Torres Vedras, a gigantic operation to prevent the French from collecting supplies here. This is the setting for the adventures of various characters from all social backgrounds - soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, young and old - who, despite the war and the devastation, try to regain their daily routine.
