Synopsis
The erva do rato (rat herb) is a poison acquired from plants. The male protagonist makes tea from it for the female protagonist. They chanced upon each other in a churchyard. He takes her home with him and doesn’t let her go again. Increasingly under the influence of poison, she notes down his stories in booklets that slowly start to fill the walls. She allows him to take nude photos of her –of details of her. When he finds out that rats are nibbling the photos, he becomes furious. Yes, cinema still has dark secrets.
