Maids
Five maids in São Paulo are observed in this episodic, impressionistic film. The women interact with each other, ride busses, work, and have longings: Rai for a husband, Créo for her lost daughter, Roxane for a career in modeling. Quitéria is naive, a gull for thieves. Cida has a husband and also a lover. While each woman gets what she wishes for (more or less), it doesn't always make things better.
Terra Vazia
While waiting for answers after her brother's disappearance, Mirela, who lives in the northern zone of São Paulo, encounters a situation that changes her night.
