Daddy issues so deep they need scuba gear. Brazilian psychodrama goes there.
Marked by her father's strong presence, since he is a rich and powerful businessman, the beautiful Berenice investigates his love life, to feel closer to him. With her findings, their relationship becomes mixed with a strong sense of seduction.
Acting
Gazzara's louche privilege, Grimaldi's hungry stillness
Direction
Khouri's clinical gaze makes everything feel watched
Cinematography
Wealth as prison, every frame dripping with ennui
Director
Walter Hugo Khouri
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Khouri spent decades exploring bourgeois sexual malaise; this was his final film before retirement. The TMDB rating is brutally unfair — it's barely seen outside Brazil.
Gazzara was Khouri's white whale — the director chased him for years, convinced only an American could embody hollow capitalist excess. The casting is deliberately disorienting.
