Plot
After visiting a fortune teller, Zulmira is informed that a blonde woman will threaten her peace. After talking to her husband Toninho, she suspects that her cousin Glorinha may be that blonde.
Sinekatalog’s take
A fortune teller's warning of a blonde rival sends a wife suspecting her own cousin. Leon Hirszman makes a small domestic suspicion into a sharp study of jealousy and small-town gossip. A neat, intimate Brazilian drama with sly social observation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
