Still life tells the story of Lenita, a 22-year-old orphan of mother, raised and educated by her father, who insists that she marries, as he believes that marriage is a physiological necessity. Lenita's father dies and she decides to move to Colonel Barbosa's farm, an old man who raised her father and was also his tutor. During her stay at the farm, she meets Manuel Barbosa, a 40 year-old man, separated though officially married. They live an intense hidden love affair that ends in a tragical outcome, once Lenita finds out she is pregnant. The main theme in Still life is hysteria, which will be approached as a free adaptation of Julio Ribeiro's novel A carne (1888).
