Character Analysis
Eurídice Gusmão
Carol Duarte / Fernanda Montenegro
Motivation
To attend the Vienna Conservatory and to find her sister, who she believes is living a glamorous life in Europe.
Character Arc
Starts as a gifted pianist full of hope, transitions into a resigned housewife whose fire is slowly extinguished by domestic duty, only to experience a devastating realization in her old age.
Guida Gusmão
Julia Stockler
Motivation
To find the love she was promised and to reunite with Eurídice, the only person who ever truly saw her.
Character Arc
Evolves from a naive romantic who elopes for love into a hardened, independent woman who builds a life from nothing and never stops searching for her sister.
Antenor
Gregório Duvivier
Motivation
To maintain a traditional, "respectable" household and fulfill his physical and social desires as a man of his time.
Character Arc
Remains largely static as a representative of the average 1950s patriarch—not a monster in his own eyes, but a man whose entitlement makes him a primary obstacle to Eurídice's happiness.
