L’intruse
(A intrusa)

by Carlos Hugo CHRISTENSEN

The two Nilsen brothers, Christiano and Eduardo, live in Uruguaiana in the province of Rio Grande do Sul. Their Nordic origins cut them off from the rest of the population: they live as loners, united by their solid friendship. This friendship is about to be destroyed by the arrival of a woman, Juliana, whom Christiano brings along.

Little by little, she becomes the property of the two brothers. But the situation is untenable, and they sell Juliana to a brothel. Too tempted, they buy her back and try to resume their lives with her, but a terrible, almost biblical end comes to the lonely world of the Nilsen brothers.
