It surprises no one that the charming but wayward Vadinho dos
Guimaraes-a gambler notorious for never winning--dies during
Carnival. His long suffering widow Dona Flor devotes herself to her
cooking school and her friends, who urge her to remarry. She is
soon drawn to a kind pharmacist who is everything Vadinho was not,
and is altogether happy to marry him. But after her wedding she
finds herself dreaming about her first husband's amorous
attentions; and one evening Vadinho himself appears by her bed, as
lusty as ever, to claim his marital rights.
