      Portraits - João Calazans Filho

      Crimes and Forgotten

      The number 190 was activated in the police department of a small-town in the Bahia countryside. A desperate woman used the prerogative of the Maria da Penha Act to help prevent the violation of women's rights, hearing her neighbor arguing fourteenth with her husband.

      - State police, good night. What can help you with? The policeman askew, the caller, the caller on the other side of the line.

      - Good evening. My name is Bernadette and I am calling because there is a husband and wife discs here at Pedro Almodóvar Street, number 77, near the São Judas Tadeu school. Quick, the fight is heating up and there may even be dead!

      - He respects me, tramp. I'm a good woman and I'm not after another male. I've had enough of this fret at home.

      She said, Marilene ran to open the door to get rid of her husband, who was verbally assaulting
