CGiii Comment

A disgrace. A most contemptible depiction of mankind...

Assis has polluted the beautiful Brazilian countryside with the dregs of the earth...the grandfather: a pollutant. The brattish son: a parasite. The friend: a poison.

In the cinema, you can do what you like...Assis, certainly, conforms to this doctrine - however repugnant and irresponsible.

A very difficult film...to experience!

The(ir) Blurb...

In the countryside of Pernambuco, in a small village nearby a sugarcane plantation and an alcohol plant, the despicable and cheap Heitor abuses of his sixteen year-old granddaughter Auxiliadora, submitting her to slavery and humiliations during the days, and every now and then exposing her naked body to truck drivers in a gas station in the night to raise additional money. The group of potheads leaded by Everardo spends their time in violent orgies with prostitutes, drinking booze and smoking marijuana, and the mean and sadistic Cícero desires the virgin Auxiliadora.
