Sex and the City

Recife, in Northeast Brazil, the poorest area of the country - neglected by the government in Brasília, but with a rich history - the first explorers landed there... and a rich folklore... A people that has struggled and struggles still: see Dry Lives (Vidas Secas) by Graciliano Ramos, or The Queen of the Prisons of Greece (A Rainha dos Cárceres da Grécia) by Osman Lins. The background - but this is really the story of Mara, a girl from the countryside, and Bete, a girl from the slums. Visit my site at sites.google.com/site/eroticaesthetic.
