A sculptor with Greek countenances locked up in her flat in Rio de Janeiro confronts ‘that woman’, herself, with a violent critique of the human race in a monologue, from the book to the film of the same name, “Passion According to G.H.” (Luiz Fernando Carvalho). Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) published the romance in 1964 and Brazil knew a military dictatorship. Ten years later, Maria Fernanda Cândido was born. Similarities between the actress and the writer: faces with similar proportions, accentuated cheekbones, light and almond-shaped eyes; they were mothers of two children of the same ages; and at the time of writing and filming they were both 44 years old.
