The comedy A Dog’s Will, originally titled Auto da Compadecida (The Mystery Play of the Merciful One), is considered a Brazilian classic. It showcases the adventures of friends João Grilo, a penniless trickster, and Chicó, the most cowardly of men. In their struggle for daily bread in the Northeast of Brazil, they try to make ends meet by using their wits, not stopping short of swindling. The two get involved in a few imbroglios and a fair share of misadventures. Their ultimate destiny, however, lies outside the reach of the desires and whims of earthly powers.
