Plays out like a good mystery novel although it is not. The young man (Vincus de Oliveria) who plays the orphan is very good considering that this is his first film. Fernanda Montenegro is brilliant as the aging, bitter letter writer.
I did not find the film sentimental at all and I highly recommend it. Just watching the two main characters at work is a joy.
