Nuvem (1991)

Synopsis of Nuvem

Laura is a waitress in a cafe who has a date with a man she met at work. They have their little rendezvous, and she goes on with her life as usual. Meanwhile, the man, who has betrayed his criminal gang, is killed by them. The gang members are not sure that their secret is safe and that Laura knows nothing about them, so they send Tomas to find out. For want of a better ruse, he dates her, too. At first, he thinks that there's nothing to worry about, but after a few dates he knows that she has information which, if it were put in the hands of the police, could tie the gang to the murder. Since he believes that wives can't testify against husbands, he asks her to marry him, and she accepts. He plans to do her in after the police investigation of the murder is over. Meanwhile, Laura's lady boss has been having a relationship with a policeman who has been on an involuntary "leave of absence." He figures out that this new marriage isn't on the up-and-up and begins nosing around. This whole story is evidently closely based on the 1947 film of Graham Greene's romantic thriller, Brighton Rock. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
