Ary Severo

Julio is enchanted by a coffee shop attendant and confuses himself with a bad element. To get revenge, the thug kills his sister and kidnaps the waitress. Classic representative of the Ciclo do Recife.

The fisherman Aitaré courts Cora, an innocent girl from a small village. Several disagreements separate the heroes, until the expected happy ending. The film shows both the beautiful beaches of the region and the sophisticated milieu of the aristocracy in Recife. The clash between tradition and modernity can been seen in an obvious way in the film.
