Val left her daughter Jessica behind when she moved to São Paulo to work as a nanny with a wealthy family. After 13 years the clever and ambitious Jessica comes to visit, upsetting the unspoken yet strict balance of power in the household. Val finds herself in the middle, and must decide where her allegiances lie and what she's willing to sacrifice to maintain her position. This Brazilian gem has been a crowd pleaser wherever it has screened. At Sundance, Indiewire praised it as “one of the most accomplished, sure-handed films of the festival” while it took out the Audience Award at Berlin.
