Desmundo

Desmundo is a 2002 Brazilian drama film by Alain Fresnot, based on the novel of the same name by Ana Miranda. The film is set in 1570, a period when orphan Portuguese girls were sent to marry the settlers sons. This was done to prevent the Portuguese from having sons with the indigenous peoples and black people in order to keep the Christian marriage and a pure heritage. The film follows Oribela Simone Spoladore as she is sent from Portugal to Brazil to marry Francisco de Albuquerque Osmar Prado.

At the 35th Festival de Braslia, Desmundo won Best Score and Best Supporting Actress Berta Zemel. It won Best Art Direction Adrian Cooper and Chico Andrade, Best Costume Design Marjorie Guelle and Best Make Up Vav Torres at the Grande Prmio do Cinema Brasileiro.
