Plot

Vadinho (José Wilker), Flor's irresponsible husband drops dead while dancing in a street carnival party. José Wilker de Almeida ( Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil, 1947) is a Brazilian actor of Film stage and TV Only Flor (Sonia Braga), expresses remorse after his death. Sônia Maria Campos Braga (born June 8, 1950) is a three-time Golden Globe -nominated Brazilian actress. Flor's friends and family see Vadinho's death as a chance for Flor to find happiness after the misery brought upon her by Vadinho's psychological and physical brutality. Roughly the first half of Dona Flor recounts Flor's marriage with Vadinho in an extended flashback. In history film television and other media a flashback (also called analepsis) is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current By the end of the flashback, there is little doubt that Vadinho's critics make a good case against his respectability as a husband, but the look of remorse in Flor's eyes (as well as the look of passion in those same eyes during the more steamy scenes within the flashback) show us that despite herself, Flor will miss Vadinho.

The second half of Dona Flor involves Flor's meeting the respectable but, alas, not-so-sexy pharmacist Teodoro (Mauro Mendonça), his courtship of her, and her remarriage to him. Flor’s friends consider Teodoro the exact opposite of Vadinho. Teodoro belongs in superior circles within Bahia’s society, dresses elegantly, and treats Flor like a lady. What Flor's friends do not know is that Teodoro is also the opposite of Vadinho in one more respect: in bed, Teodoro is as lacking as Vadinho was accomplished.

On the anniversary of Vadinho's death, Vadinho reappears to Flor in the nude and explains that she called him to "share her bed" with him. Only Flor can see and hear the nude spirit of Vadinho. She protests because she is now remarried and has pledged to be faithful to Teodoro, but after Vadinho laughs during Teodoro’s pathetic attempts at love-making that night, Flor gives in and lives happily with both husbands. A cute shot toward the end of the film shows Teodoro lying in bed next to Flor, who kisses him on the cheek. The camera then pans to the left and we see Vadinho on Flor's other side and she kisses him on the cheek too.
