In this sense, the theoretical assumptions of Modern Semiotics will be used, with emphasis on the postulates by Charles Peirce, for the elaboration of the analyzes. As methodology for the development of the work, the qualitative and descriptive approaches will be applied, in relation to the problem and the objective. The problematizations effected, from the analysis, show how the director Aïnouz makes use of the most diverse signs, to create an anguish environment and a feeling of non-belonging, in the main character, due to the end of their love relationship. It was concluded that the filmmaker Aïnouz drives his narrative to the approach of subjective and sensory aspects of the character, giving focus to her anguish and exasperation.
