Co-written and directed by veteran Sandra Kogut (CAMPO GARNDE), the film is set during the times of Brazilian scandals when politicians and the wealthy were arrested for crimes like money laundering and theft. But Kogut is not interested in these crooks but in what happened to the people caught in their web – like their employees.  The protagonist chosen is the caretaker for luxury condominiums (Regina Casé) owned by a wealthy Rio family when arrests  are being made.  

The caretaker, Madá relies on her resourcefulness and her eye for opportunity to take advantage of whatever comes her way.  Unfolding over the course of three consecutive summers — 2015 to 2017 — the film follows Madá as she invests in a roadside snack kiosk while tending to the every need of her condescending employers, becomes bystander in a major money-laundering scandal, and eventually launches a whole new career.  

The film is aided by the sorted and lively performance of Regina Case who basically makes the movie.  Kogut has a keen observation of people and relationships.  She could have concentrated on more characters than just the caretaker.
