Первоначально Элисео Субиела хотел экранизировать роман кубинского писателя Алехо Карпентьера «Потерянные следы», но не смог купить права на текст. И только через два года режиссёр написал оригинальный сценарий, по которому в 1981 году был снят фильм «Завоевание рая», ставший первой полнометражной картиной Субиелы и заложивший основу его неповторимого стиля. С той поры в каждом своём фильме режиссёр говорит о любви и смерти, о невероятном переплетении прошлого и будущего. И непонятно, чего в этих фильмах больше: музыки, поэзии или космоса.
Zionists hire a hitman to kill a Nazi war criminal exiled in a Latin American country, where he's being protected by the local dictator.
Maria do Grotão
In the miserable Northeastern Brazil, a ruthless land Baron wants to throw a poor farming community out of their land.
An unhappily married woman becomes the mistress to a sleaze-ball who introduces her to a group of satanists who are willing to kill her rich husband.
Rejane
The eccentric members of a wealthy Brazilian family each go through personal torment, debauchery and intense guilt in this symbolic and gory film. The father has made a fortune in the slaughterhouse business and ignores the feelings of his wife and his workers. He frequents a mulatto woman, who is always seen naked. His daughter and her friend act on their lesbian fantasies before her friend marries her brother. An elderly aunt seduces the brother before she drowns herself in the swimming pool. His lesbian sister shoots the girl, and the boy incestuously attacks his mother. When the mother threatens to leave, the father begs for her to stay and continue the hollow charade of their marriage for the sake of social appearances. The father grovels before his mistress after his daughter slashes her wrists. Any comparison between this dysfunctional family, the Manson family, and Shelley Winters' sick Barker brood in Bloody Mama is all an unfortunate artistic coincidence.
Flora
In a company trading maté, workers are treated as slaves. Some of them try to escape, but those who are caught suffer severe punishments.
