3. 3. Todas As Histórias Do Analista De Bagé

   

   A collection of satirical sketches featuring a gruff, authoritarian psychoanalyst from Brazil’s gaucho south whose unorthodox treatments—blending Freudian talk, soccer banter, chimarrão rituals, and the infamous knee-in-the-patient—skewer middle-class neuroses, politics, and macho culture.
