I've heard this compared to "Like Water for Chocolate", which is one of my favourite films ever. Suffice to say, I didn't find that, despite this being touted as a "Brazilian classic".
Maybe it was of its time, and hasn't aged well - or that I'm not Brazilian. Suffice to say the sex looks very tame by today's standards, I didn't find many of the "escapades" funny and the boorish behaviour of husband No1 (and his friends) was unbearable and sad. The fantasy element could have been fun but (for me) I'd had enough of the guy so by the end she seemed to be stuck with two idiots rather than one.... hey ho.
Not recommended.
