Short film, 2011
Sara thinks about her life… She has murdered Armando, her own husband, after years of domestic abuse.
But is this the end of her suffering? Unfortunately, Paixão, the head of her late husband’s criminal gang, is looking for him. The ghost of Armando still haunts Sara’s nights.
When the gang leader forces Sara to have sex with him, on grounds of a pretence blood pact between Paixão and Armando, she murders him as well. This final act will free her from her inner ghosts.
She will be imprisoned, paying her debt to society, but at peace with herself.
