O Amor e Outros Estranhos Rumores

'O Amor e Outros Estranhos Rumores' ('Love and Other Strange Rumours')is a Brazilian play adapted on the short story 'Barbara' by writer Murilo Rubião. The story of both versions depicts a husband and wife and the difficulties presented when the wife continually asks for more possessions despite cost and rationality. The wife's obsessive greed is emphasised by her body growing increasingly fatter, which is reflected in the play adaptation by the actress's outfit inflating.
