Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos

2017108 min6.0 / 10

A lighthearted, sensual Brazilian comedy about a widow caught between two husbands—one living, one ghostly—navigating desire, respectability, and the messy realities of marriage.

In a small city of Brazil, Flor (a very good looking woman) marries Vadinho, a very handsome and erotic man. Once married she finds he is a good-for-nothing. She works teaching cooking to her neighbours but he takes all her money to gamble. One day he dies. Flor misses the goods of the marriage so she marries again with a very correct gentleman – the owner of the drugstore (Teodoro). Now she’s very happy with her man, but misses the erotic moments with her previous husband. Then the ghost of Vadhino comes to earth to chase her.
