The Empire of Desire
O Império do Desejo
Sandra is a rich widow who wants to know the beach house her late husband has left her. She goes there with her lover Odilon, an unscrupulous young man whose studies she's supporting. Helping her with the red tape is dr. Carvalho, a very conservative and old-fashioned lawyer. In her way to the house, she meets a couple of hippies, looking for a place to stay. She hires them as temporary housekeepers. Living nearby is a crazy prophet, who shows his genitals to anybody who comes close. During their stay in the house, all these characters clash, in unusual and funny ways, including some disgusting tourists, three young women on vacation, the police, prostitutes, a reporter for a communist magazine, and many others.
