O lobo atrás da porta / A Wolf at the Door

Clarinha has disappeared. At the police station, shocked parents Sylvia and Bernardo sit answering questions posed by the inspector after their daughter was picked up that afternoon by an unknown woman and has not been seen since. Bernado, however, has a feeling he knows who might be behind the abduction: His lover Rosa, about whom his wife knows absolutely nothing. Rosa soon turns up at the inspector’s office. The attractive young woman remains completely stolid, insisting that she has no idea where the girl is. Only when the detective takes a harder line does Rosa suddenly remember several incidents of that day. In his directorial debut, Fernando Coimbra’s thriller-cum-melodrama presents an abysmal story of love, dependency and obsession. Leandra Leal shines in her role as the seductive yet vulnerable Rosa.
