Mulheres Violentadas

Juarez, a young and friendly butler, seduces his mistress and murders his boss. Twenty years later, discovering the whereabouts of his boss's son, who had escaped during the crime, he hires cruel professional killers to destroy him. With the help of his wife, the young man faces Juarez and his henchmen and avenges his father's death.

Directed by Francisco Cavalcanti, Mulheres Violentadas leans on a strong ensemble — Lirio Bertelli, Francisco Cavalcanti, Zenilda Andrade — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1977.
