“If you had to choose between me and your mother, who would it be?” Capitu asks provocatively of her problematic lover. Elsewhere, they dance to inaudible music with their friends, each couple keeping to a rhythm of their own. At times, this depiction of the memories we see one Dom Casmurro commit to paper with a flamboyant pen seems to be an interplay of conflicting emotions – particularly when jealousy raises its head. Adapted from the Brazilian classic novel 'Dom Casmurro' (1899) by Machado de Assis as an ironic/philosophical essay on poetry and jealousy, and featuring fragments of Bressane’s previous works.
Pedroca
Carlão es un hombre prejuicioso que trabaja en un concesionario de automóviles con Cadinho, Zeca y Antunes. En las conversaciones entre ellos, Carlão siempre se jacta de ser el mayor conocedor del fútbol y la mecánica, todo en medio de bromas machistas y homofóbicas. Cuando Evaristo es el objetivo de tales agresiones verbales, lo persigue y lo encierra en un casillero mágico. De ahí viene Carlinhos, un alter ego homosexual que se apodera del cuerpo de Carlão cuando llega la noche.
