Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Released in Brazil as Alem Da Paixao, Happily Ever After is all about ostensibly happy housewife Regina Duarte. She has a dream one night in which she dances with a woman who "morphs" into a gorgeous hunk of man. While musing on this dream, Duarte hits a handsome young pedestrian with her car. Guess who that pedestrian looks like? Their affair gets off to a bad start when he robs her, but she trails him to a transvestite club. Enchanted by her dream come true, Duarte refuses to acknowledge the fact that her new bisexual lover is a male prostitute, stealing everything she owns to support his drug habit.
