Hilda Hurricane (1998)

ONGOING

Synopsis:
Written by Glória Perez, based on Roberto Drummond's book. The most sought-after prostitute in the Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, brothels during the 50s and 60s, Hilda Müller was the daughter of a highly respected middle-class family. She scandalized society by breaking away from her family and shattering taboos, fleeing on her wedding day and seeking refuge in a brothel and adopting the alias Hilda Hurricane. The miniseries contrasts antagonistic contexts (religiosity and profligacy behavior; revolution and counter-revolution), as well as, with antagonistic characters (Hilda Hurricane and Friar Malthus). The series ends during the 60s, after the 1964 Brazilian coup d'etat.
