A stubborn prosecutor is tasked with putting a plastic surgeon in jail who confessed to killing and dismembering a former patient. What should be an easy case ends up becoming one of the most difficult and disturbing jobs of his career. More than presenting incontrovertible proof and evidence, she will have the challenge of making the jurors -and millions of Brazilians- forget the absurd thesis, constructed with the help of the media by a brilliant lawyer, that the defendant is not a cold-blooded killer and cruel, but a peaceful good man, driven crazy by the unhealthy pursuit of an ex-girlfriend.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
