The streaming giant invested half a million reais so that former inmate Suzane von Richthofen, convicted of murdering her parents more than two decades ago, would authorize the production of a documentary film about her story. The project, still without a premiere date, has the provisional title “Suzane Vai Falar” and is expected to run about two hours.
In the interviews, Suzane describes the family mansion as a cold environment, where the focus was exclusively on school grades. “I spent my time studying, getting 9s and 10s in everything. There was no display of affection, neither from my parents nor among us. My father was distant, my mother showed affection only on rare occasions,” she recounts.
The account also brings to light episodes of domestic violence. Suzane says she heard her father assaulting her mother, describing the scene as “horrible.” She also says that, rejected by her parents, she kept a secret relationship with Daniel Cravinhos, leading a double life that culminated in frequent arguments and physical assaults.
According to the narrative, the breaking point occurred during a 30‑day trip of her parents to Europe, a period in which Daniel moved into the Richthofen house. Suzane describes that month as “total freedom, sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll,” which would have altered the family dynamics.
Regarding the planning of the crime, Suzane says the idea of eliminating her parents emerged gradually, fueled by the desire that they “didn’t exist.” Although she denies having participated in the making of the weapons, she admits to having facilitated the perpetrators’ entry on the night of October 31, 2002. “I didn’t build the weapon, but I let the killers into the house. It’s my fault,” she confesses.
On the day of the murders, Suzane says she stayed on the lower floor, sitting on the sofa, with her hand over her ear to avoid hearing what was happening. She describes a state of dissociation: “I felt like a robot, without feeling. When it was all over, I realized there was no turning back.”
Today, at 42 years old, Suzane has been serving an open‑regime sentence since January 2023, living in Bragança Paulista with her husband, physician Felipe Zecchini Muniz. The documentary still does not have a defined release date.
