Two Brothers

As he dies leaving his two boys orphaned, Paulo's father lays on him the duty to look after his retarded but overgrown younger brother, for otherwise Daniel will be put away in an institution. But Daniel never listens to his brother, who is unable to exert any authority over him. Instead Daniel, age twenty and still in the throes of puberty, goes off in an inept, fumbling pursuit of the village girls as they ride past on their bicycles on the way to sewing lessons or cake-baking classes.Among these girls are pretty Teresa and her plain friend, Carmen, a girl disfigured by a birthmark on one cheek. Both of them are sweet on Paulo, the quiet, irresolute, but handsome lad who works in the family sawmill, while Teresa is the reluctant, indeed disgusted, object of Daniel's dreams. Each girl schemes to cut the other out and win favor with Paulo. All ends in tears. And the narrators of this story, who take turns relating the tale, are creatures of the wild, driven by their inner voices -- a bird, squirrels, a black snake . . .
