Maids

Directed by Fernando Meirelles, Nando Olival

Written by Cecília Homem de Mello, Nando Olival, Renata Melo, Fernando Meirelles

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.
