Synopsis

After leaving her daughter Jessica in a small town in Pernambuco to be raised by relatives, Val spends the next 13 years working as a nanny to Fabinho in São Paulo. She has financial stability but must live with the guilt of having not raised Jessica herself. As Fabinho's university entrance exams approach, Jessica reappears in her life and seems to want to give her mother a second chance, but she hasn't been raised to be a servant and her very existence turns Val's routine on its head. With precision and humor, the film depicts the subtle and powerful forces that keep rigid class structures in place and how the youth just might be the ones to shake it up.—yusufpiskin
