- Synopsis
- The story concerns the irrepressible João de Deus, an ill-kempt, lusty and none-too-honest resident of Violeta's boarding house, which happens to have yellow walls. João, who has no visible means of support, is in his fifties, and is not above cadging money from his 70 year old mother, who still works as a cleaning lady. He has a wistful sort of lust for the young ladies in the boarding house, and gets a kind of thrill when he is permitted to take a bath in their used water. He strikes up a friendship with a slightly stupid girl who is a mite promiscuous, and even has a brief sexual encounter with her himself.
