A warm, playful romantic fantasy about a widow caught between two husbands—one respectable and dutiful, one charming and dissolute—that uses supernatural comedy to explore desire, duty, and the messiness of love.

After the death of her handsome but good-for-nothing husband Vadinho, Flor, a widow, marries Dr. Teodoro, a respectable gentleman. Hilarity ensues when Vadinho's spirit returns into her life.
