Arquivo / 49ª mostra

The fast growing city of São Paulo, Brazil, 1899. A few years after slavery has been abolished, the three womenof the Soares family, former owners of lands and slaves, just came back to the city. Lost after the death of their last housemaid, they struggle to adapt to the changes in Brazil. At the same time, the Nascimento family, who used to work as slaves in the Soares estate, are now facing a society in which there is no space for the recently freed black people. Between Brazil’s past and present, out of place, they all fight to survive in the modern world.
