About The Given Word (Minisseries)
The central theme of the miniseries – an adaptation of the play of the same name by Dias Gomes – is the survival of man and his fight for what he believes in. The driving character of the narrative is the humble Zé do Burro, who, inconsolable, watches the suffering of Nicolau, his donkey, victim of an accident and decides to make a promise.
Directed by Dias Gomes, The Given Word (Minisseries) leans on a strong ensemble — José Mayer, Denise Milfont, Walmor Chagas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1988.
