The premise

Based on one of the most shocking and gruesome murder cases in Brazil, the film presents de Suzane von Richthofen's point of view of the events that led to the death of her parents.

Horror Vault's take

Drawn from one of Brazil's most notorious real-life criminal cases, this film puts viewers inside the perspective of a young woman entangled in a relationship with deadly consequences for her own family. It traces the psychological and emotional currents that built toward an unthinkable act, refusing easy answers about guilt and motivation. Intimate in tone, it probes how love, control, and resentment can warp a person's moral compass beyond recognition.
