Desvio (1953)
Ricardo is a well-educated painter who marries Ana, a poor market vendor, out of love. But Ricardo finds no inspiration for painting in marriage. Ana's demands for a more comfortable life and harassment from criminals lead him to become involved in a criminal scheme. Luckily, he escapes unharmed when the gang is apprehended. Discouraged and remorseful, he returns to spending time with old friends, but his anguish intensifies. One day, the police knock on his door.
