The life and times of Sant'Ana do Agreste, 28 January 2002
Author: LeRoyMarko from Toronto, Canada

After more than 25 years in the big city of Sao Paulo, Tieta (played nicely by Sonia Braga) is coming back to her native village, Sant'Ana do Agreste. Nothing has changed. It seems the time has stop. But in the little while that she spent there, a lot will change! It's a movie about the subject of: love, lust, power, religion and even politics! No, Sant'Ana do Agreste will never be the same... Tieta even brought in the electricity!

Out of 100, I gave it 74. That's good for **½ on a **** stars rating system.

Seen at home, in Welland, on January 28th, 2002.
