When the estranged daughter of a hard-working live-in housekeeper suddenly appears, the unspoken class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray.
Anna Muylaert’s close setting cleverly lends itself to broader reflections on tradition, but Casé makes the story sing. Utterly convincing.
Warm and wonderfully cheeky Brazilian satire, featuring a star turn from Regina Casé.
Anna Muylaert is a smart and passionate filmmaker.
The delicate relationship between employer and servant is skilfully subverted and scrutinised in this funny, serious study of class in modern-day Brazil.
