A tragic-comedy that tells the story of three women on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Gloria, who
was just spurned by her married lover, meets Beatriz, who is about to jump onto the subway tracks
because she married too young and was never able to fulfill her dreams. Along comes Meche, an
evangelist living with tremendous existential issues and contradictions. Destiny brings these three women
together to help each other overcome their bleak existence

The Deceased Woman
A psychological dark comedy consisting on three parallel and intersecting stories. Zulmira, a working-class,
middle aged woman, is dying of emphysema and wants to arrange for herself the grandest funeral her
town has ever seen. Her clueless husband Tuninho, meanwhile, fantasizes about winning piles of money
betting on his favorite dark-horse "futebol" team. Mixed with this is the boys-clubby atmosphere of the town
funeral home, oversexed swindlers who spend their days convincing patrons to spend vast sums on the
dearly departed. As the comedy progresses, these narratives become increasingly intertwined and
complex, the final scenes crystallizing the tragedy underlying each character.
