Uma Pistola p'ra D'jeca (1970)

Eulália works as a maid in a landowner's house; one evening, during a social gathering in that house, she is raped by her boss's son. Eight years later, she lives with her father and the son born out of that act of violence. They are still tenants of that same landowner, who has become rich by stealing other people's cattle. Her rapist is now about to get married with the daughter of another landowner, and the presence of Eulália and her family is a nuisance to him, so his father decides to expel them from their property.

Heavy drama with deficient script and direction. The main actor, who is also the producer and co-writer, by that time had fully migrated to "serious" drama territory; he somewhat kept his comic mannerisms and inserted a few comic subplots, but they are very ineffective and have a serious mismatch with the overall tone of the movie.

Rating: 21
