Synopsis

PAUL MOREL, an important avant-guard artist, is suspected of murdering a young 20 year-old woman - Joana - the daughter of a Brazilian ambassador.
Morel cohabits - in a playful, free relationship - with three women: an artist, a young prostitute and Joana. With the latter - his favorite - he maintains a passionate, sadistical and strange sexual relationship.
Some odd things happen and one day Joana is found dead on a beach near Rio de Janeiro, where they live. Morel is one of the suspects in the case being investigated by Vilela, a writer, ex-cop and friend of sheriff Matos, who is in charge of the case.
