Pale soft-porn drama lulled by kitschy music score!!

During the seventies Brazilian cinema survives under the soft-porn comedies self-called by media as Pornochanchada, exploiting the nudity scenes of the famous actress, in this one no exception to that prearranged rule, see the poster, so try imply it as serious offer drama doesn't fly whatsoever, still knowing the background of our cinema industry, said that the picture floats between this two genres soft-sexploitation-drama, never taken off from each other, even focusing on dramatic purpose.

A gorgeous mid-class housewife Natalia (Selma Egrei) has in trouble due she didn't get any pregnancy from his (ugly) husband Guido (Luis Carlos de Moraes), in three years of marriage, probably by him be infertile, then she wonders a randomly sex relationship with a stranger Gustavo (Everton de Castro) during her holyday in a far off touristic city, which is granted at first attempt, out of the blue they meets in a large city as São Paulo (what a jinxed lady), so Gustavo perceives Natalia's pregnancy, then the prior friendly guy becomes a wicked blackmailer, he figures out how to get an easy money from so unfortunate woman.

Actually a boring picture aside few sequences, attached with a lame screenplay where the naïve husband giving a ride to the villain with her woman on the car, what a mess, or a fluke (just in movies), all this fully lulled by a kitschy music score, what a lousy choice, also bolstered by an impoverished dialogues, point out by unfitting bad jokes, anyway it didn't praised anyone, at least it had a decent outcome.

Thanks for reading
