The film enters around Val, a hard-working live-in housekeeper in modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly content to take care of every one of her wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking and cleaning to being a surrogate mother to their teenage son, who she has raised since he was a toddler. But when Val’s estranged daughter Jessica suddenly shows up the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray.










"This movie brings a delicate portrait about the Brazilian reality - addressing prejudice and social exclusion. Director and screenwriter Anna Muylaert creates a great story with three strong female presences. Special mention also goes to Regina Casé's performance, which was highly praised by critics, earning her the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Festival."
