The story of Paulo Honório, a poor ploughman who becomes a rich farmer. Obsessed by his desire to get even richer, he doesn't pay much attention to his wife, Madalena, a teacher who reacts against his tyrannical ways.
Wonderful character development!
How sad is this?
Did you people see the same film I saw?
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
