Synopsis

This disturbing, unsettling tale takes place in a small town in Brazil in the 1930s, under the regime of Getulio Vargas, when the Constitution stated that every good citizen should support the national policy to whiten the country. Vidal unflinchingly portrays the bigotry and racism infecting Brazilian culture. Her narrative weaves between the diverse and compelling perspectives of her characters as prejudice is deconstructed amidst scenes of violence and horror.
