Synopsis of O Rio do Ouro
Paulo Rocha directed this Portuguese-Brazilian drama which Rocha initially began scripting 30 years ago. Carolina (Isabel Ruth) marries dredging-boat operator Antonio (Brazilian TV star Lima Duarte), but she soon becomes jealous of Antonio's interest in their goddaughter Melita (Joana Barcia), but both Carolina and Melita fancy gypsy gold salesman Ze of Gold (Joao Cardoso).
