After her philandering husband dies, Dona Flor remarries, only for his ghost to return to her bed. Barreto transforms Jorge Amado’s novel into a sensual and comic celebration of Bahia. Anchored by Sônia Braga’s iconic performance, it is one of Brazil’s most beloved and successful films, balancing romance, satire and pleasure.
