Краткое содержание
Alice, married for the last 20 years to a taxi driver, works in a beauty parlour, has three children, the eldest of whom is doing his military service, and a mother who works as a maid in her house. None of the three siblings pay much attention to their mother, and they treat their grandmother with lack of respect. Alice's life in the female working world contrasts strongly with the powerful masculine presence in her home. Although she's a good girl, the chance to betray uncovers other betrayals she didn't know existed.

It was you.”

During the funeral of Dina Rocha, the dysfunctional families have a quarrel disputing their heritage.

Бейби – не просто заядлая, но страстная курильщица; Пикассо мог бы нарисовать с нее никотиновый аналог «Любительницы абсента». Она одинока, однако появление на этаже нового, весьма колоритного соседа-ровесника, становится поводом для обоснованных любовных воздыханий. Впрочем, это – центральная, но единственная линия бразильской кинопанорамы, жанр которой формулируется так: «маленькие комедии большого дома».
