O ZEPPELIN PASSOU POR AQUI (The Zeppelin was here)

(35 mm, 18 min, cor, 1993)

In the mid-thirties the city of Porto Alegre anxiously awaits the passing of the German dirigible on its way to Montevideo. Julio, an accountant, manages to leave his disappointed seamstress wife Mariana at home. But while Júlio and his lover Leda see very little of the Zeppelin, Mariana surrenders to an overwhelming passion.
