English title: To Return.
Synopsis: Several incidents - deaths, an apparition, etc. - affect a group of women - two sisters, the daughter of one of them, a friend, an old aunt - and the husband of one of them. Several events which took place long before begin to resurface and secrets are revealed.
Appraisal (mild SPOILERS): Weak - and long! - melodrama. Now, an odd flight of fancy of mine. When the film crew member asks Raimunda if she could serve meals to the crew, she agrees to it. I was sure that she was planning to chop up and cook the dead body and serve it to the film crew. An interesting detail: in Brazil, Raimunda is a popular denomination for a woman with big buttocks (it is a rhyme for 'bunda', which is the word for 'buttocks' in Brazilian Portuguese). It is reported that the leading actress wore artificial buttock enlargers for this movie so she would fit the typical shape of the women of La Mancha, where the film is set.
