Director Hector Babenco's character study traces the evolving relationship between two cellmates in a Brazilian prison. Jailed for immoral behavior, flamboyant homosexual Luis Molina (William Hurt, who netted a Best Actor Oscar) passes the time by detailing scenes of his favorite romantic movie to fellow inmate Valentin Arregui (Raul Julia), a hard-edged political activist. Slowly, the two forge a bond based on mutual understanding and respect.
