Synopsis: | The great Brazilian playwright, Nelson Rodrigues, dipped his pen deep into the darkest veins of human nature. Here, in 1950s Rio, a husband and son are locked in perpetual mourning, zealously abetted by a pair of spinster aunts. Only brother Patricio refuses the family fable, stewing his hatred for his dead sister-in-law in a brew of booze and bad women, until he hatches a poisonous plan with one of them. Geni nurses an obsession of her own, convinced she will die of the disease that felled Herculano's wife, and the prostitute's passionate imprecations soon vanquish the widower's sexless solitude. | |||||
