Chela and Chiquita are both descended from wealthy families in Asunción and have been together for over 30 years. But recently, their financial situation has worsened and they begin selling off their inherited possessions. But when their debts lead to Chiquita being imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality. Driving for the first time in years, she begins to provide a local taxi service to a group of elderly wealthy ladies. As Chela settles into her new life, she encounters the much younger Angy, forging a fresh and invigorating new connection. Chela finally begins to break out of her shell and engage with the world, embarking on her own personal, intimate revolution.
"O que fazer quando a situação financeira aperta, nos obrigando a viver de forma mais simples - e com um misto de nostalgia e melancolia dos dias do passado? Esse é o ponto inicial de ‘As Herdeiras’, longa-metragem de estreia do diretor Marcelo Martinessi e que foi extremamente elogiado durante a temporada de festivais, inclusive vencendo o prêmio da crítica e o Urso de Prata de Melhor Atriz no Festival de Berlim. Reconhecimento merecido, não só pela mão de Martinessi, mas também pela grande atuação de Ana Brun - que dá vida a uma mulher de 50 e poucos anos que precisa lidar com a necessidade de redescobrir a vida. O resultado é uma história envolvente, mas que mantém um subtexto social."
