This feature film is based on the case of Elize Matsunaga, who murdered and dismembered her husband in their São Paulo apartment in 2012. The case garnered significant media attention and shocked the public in Brazil.

The film draws inspiration from the real-life events that previously led to the documentary series 'Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime.' The original case involved Matsunaga's confession to killing her husband, Marcos Matsunaga, a wealthy businessman, and subsequently dismembering his body. The motive was reportedly related to infidelity and financial disputes.

The trailer provides a glimpse into the film's tone and visual style, hinting at a dramatic and suspenseful portrayal of the case. The release of the trailer signals the upcoming premiere of the film on the Netflix Brazil platform, though a specific release date has not been announced in the provided information.

The original documentary series, 'Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime,' released in 2021, also explored the details of the case, including interviews and archival footage. The new film is expected to offer a fictionalized dramatization, potentially focusing on different aspects or perspectives of the Matsunaga story.
