A Praga (English: The Plague) is a 1980 Brazilian horror film directed by José Mojica Marins.

A wound begins to open in his side which has an agonizing hunger for raw meat which he must constantly feed in order to stop the burning pain.

Perplexing his doctors, Juvenal's wound becomes hungrier as the film progresses, the man becomes delirious and murders his wife, thinking she will leave him because of his condition.

Puppo put together the raw material, shot additional scenes, recovered the audio using lip reading, edited and supervised the post-production process, and the result was shown to those who attended the retrospective.
