“Life is what you make it.”
In the periphery of São Paulo, the pregnant single mother Cleuza works as maid in the apartment of a middle-class family. Each of her sons has a different unknown father: the oldest, Dênis, has a baby son that lives with his mother and he works as motorcycle courier.
A raw, unflinching look at life in the São Paulo periphery. It captures the quiet dignity and enduring spirit of a family navigating hardship, with a palpable sense of place and understated emotional weight.
