Lonely Elvira talks to her blender, and the blender talks back. In this black comedy, set in São Paulo, the middle-aged housewife and taxidermist Elvira reports to the police that her husband Onofre is missing. The Chief Officer decides that she is a suspect and assigns the snoopy Detective Fuinha to investigate her husband’s disappearance. Elvira turns to her old talking blender as her emotional anchor.
The philosophizing blender - who may just be a murder accomplice - is the film’s narrator and Elvira’s confider, providing a tutti-frutti tapestry of musings on humanity.
