Why watch this film?
Lilia Cabral, famous for Globo's telenovelas and a success in the movies with 'Divã', is always an attraction by itself - and 'Maria do Caritó' is another one of those cases. In the movie, which is based on the play of the same name, the actress lives a series of funny situations in which her character not only discovers herself, but also is forced to live life in a society that seeks to control all her decisions. It may seem that the story takes place in a Brazil that no longer exists, but it is a metaphor that fits very well in the current Brazilian society.

Plot summary
Maria, a virgin spinster, is trying magical superstitions to find a husband. In her dialogue with the marriage saint, she implores for a companion. Her father offered her as a bride to Saint Djalminha, if the saint saved her during her complicated birth which ended in the death of her mother. Since then Maria has lived this dilemma: revered and loved by the residents and pilgrims that believe she is a miracle worker; she is desperate to live a great love, with a flesh and blood prospect with real passionate desire. She asks for a sign from the heavens, a clue on how to find a crumb of love when a gypsy arrives on scene saying "someone who loves her very much, but she doesn't know will come from afar on an artists' caravan." Maria can't take the solitude she is living anymore and decides "to find Mr. Right," no matter how much it may cost.
