Gabriela - smelling of cloves, with skin the colour of cinnamon -
arrives in Ilheus in 1925, the year of a record cacao harvest and
the year in which Colonel Jesuino Mendonca, according to the
unwritten law of the day, murders his wife and her lover. Change is
in the air. The cacao boom is bringing 'progress' to Ilheus and
talk is of canals, bus routes, railways and dredging the harbour.
The beautiful Gabriela, however, is indifferent to the political
intrigues going on in the name of progress and she despises the
town's materialism. Hired by Nacib as his cook, she soon captivates
him (and every other man in Ilheus) so that he is forced into a
reappraisal of the rules and customs by which he lives.
