Plot

It is 1925. Nacib (Mastroianni) is the owner of bar in a small town. He meets Gabriela (Braga), a sensual girl, who he is immediately attracted to. Taken by her, he hires her on as a cook. However, Nacib soon grows annoyed by the attention she receives. He proposes to her in the hopes that the attention quells.

After their marriage, he insists that she dress and behave more prudishly so that men are not so enamored of her. Unfortunately, Gabriela cannot help but stray and Nacib is forced to annul the marriage when he finds her in bed with his friend Tonico (Cantafora). Later, as both Nacib and the town begin to undergo a transformation, Nacib takes in Gabriela as his mistress.
