The story

What Is Dom Roberto About?

The premise of Dom Roberto without spoilers.

João Barbela ekes out a living on the spare change people toss him for his street puppetry in Lisbon’s districts. To the children he is a beloved king of his marionette, Dom Roberto. When he meets the equally poor Maria, he dreams of giving her a home and marriage, but their hopes crumble, ending as bleak as his brief five‑minute puppet shows.
