What happens

O Crime de Cravinhos is a 1920 Brazilian mystery film directed by Arturo Carrari. The title translates to The Crime of Cravinhos, referring to a suburb of Sâo Paolo, Brazil. It is known as "the first great box office success of São Paulo cinema," and it gathered a group of followers around the director. Some sources say Italian-born Gilberto Rossi was the director, and not just the cinematographer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
