Plot summary

It’s 1942, and Portugal languishes under dictatorship and WWII rages just beyond its borders. Secrets, half-truths, and mistrust prevail in the state security office of chief inspector Varga, who makes professional privilege a cover for his unprofessional interest in a boldly carnal refugee and her alleged brother. Director/writer Saboga (screenwriter for Raúl Ruiz’s MYSTERIES OF LISBON) saturates the dark world of this predatory tale with steamy eroticism and paranoia, starting with the incestuous desires of his bi-curious adolescent daughter and including the family maid.

Finally one I can like, because it doesn't mimick the rest

Far too many of these foreign movie have these women beating misogynist knuckle dragging across the pavement getting away with mistreating women and the usual Stockholm syndrome with the woman falling for the guy.

This one wasn't far off with the POS Vargas planning on leaving his sick wife and his daughter while taking advantage of the sister of two sibling refugees. Plying the brother with morphine so that he can sleep with the sister who wants to get on her way out of Portugal and away from the war.

The ending was very good with the bad abusive cop being killed by Vargas daughter after finding her mother dead in the garden. That was followed by Vargas coming home and hearing that his daughter killed his co-worker and sent the live in housekeeper plus the French refugees on their way.

So apparently no all writers stick to the same old tired scripting which is a Good thing.
