Eccentric Durval is a bit like the record shop he operates with his mother: rundown and pathetic. When their home becomes too much for his mother to care for, Durval hires a maid who no sooner disappears, leaving a young girl and a note behind.

Free adaptation of Machado de Assis' classic. The narrator is a rich dead man, who tells us about his life and times, making fun of both.
