Lea is strong and weak. She is hungry in love. Love, sex and their outcome - children - are all indispensable for her life. Vilma Santos acts such a woman so well. Her acting is outstanding here.
To be honest, the story setting is not easily acceptable for me, a Japanese. Couples may live separately when both of wife and husband has a job. But do they have another partner that easily, particular in the country where divorce is not allowed? Lea works for an NGO for women under domestic violence. Lea is involved in many miserable cases. But I don't think those episodes work well to highlight Lea's way of life.
In her two husbands, Ding, the latter one is always mad in the movie. And finally he betrays her by marrying another woman under his mother's arrangement while Lea was not aware. To portray a life of a woman in dual love, why one of the two men is described as such an unappealing man? Many questions arise from this movie. If only there is English sub-titile in the interview section in the DVD too.
