Plot

Based on the memoir of the writer Graciliano Ramos, who was jailed without charge by Getúlio Vargas's regime in 1936.

Sinekatalog’s take

Nelson Pereira dos Santos adapts Graciliano Ramos's memoir of being jailed without charge under Vargas, with Carlos Vereza as the writer. It is long and patient, and it shows how a prison strips and also reveals people.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
