    The greatest feeling is truth. Val worked as a servant for others and had feelings for the child, but he was very estranged from his own daughter. The arrival of her daughter has brought a little conflict to both Val and the host family. Is it class? Is it a generation gap? is freedom? In the end, Val resigned. Although he missed taking care of his daughter, he was very happy to think about taking his grandson. There's an interesting scene at the end where Val brings the gift she gave to his...

    The books stuffed into the bag at the end are quite detailed. The resistance of submissiveness is by no means just going out and having a baby and coming back. If you are born without nourishment, you will swell your face. Imagine living in the same city as your parents, leaving your child at your parents' house on weekdays and leaving it at the early childhood education office. We meet for a few hours on weekends and say that Mom and Dad love you the most. So...

    1. The idea is very good, all of them are mothers who are not present; 2. The actress is really amazing, there is no trace of performance on her body; 3. The ending is very good (I haven't seen a Brazilian movie for a long...

    The characters on the three levels are not equal, and in the end, each mother returns to her place. But the behavior of the maid's daughter was still a little too arrogant and impolite. The helper's "overstepping behavior", but I also understand it as the release of emotional depression. It's really two sets of standards. The hostess helps the housekeeper's son to help the...

    3.5 stars. The first reaction was the Brazilian version of "Parents Are Not Home". Class conflicts and characters' personalities unfold in plain film language, there is no absolute comedy conflict, but the conflict and love hidden in this group of people and this society are so intense. The babysitter and the son, the landlord and the daughter, I can't say... I can't say...

    Involuntarily, I compared it to "Parents Are Not Home", and found that this kind of family warmth theme is still better in Asia. But the film still has several bright spots, and the overall level is...

    The film builds a class-based conflict around the protagonist's identity as a maid and the family she serves. At the center of the conflict is the protagonist's class-conscious daughter who guides the narrative of the second act. The class segregation emphasized by the different arrangements intensifies the conflict, and the transformation of the protagonist in the third act makes his role a metaphor for the working class to break free from dependence on independent class...

    Let people be in a foreign country, but feel familiar

    Realistic, delicate and warm. The panorama of society is projected into the daily life of an upper-class Brazilian family and their servants. The gap between the rich and the poor, the color gap, the society, culture, and the various shackles and inequalities that people have can only sigh, but...

    Love is understanding, acceptance, tolerance

    The mother and daughter, whom I haven’t seen for many years, have never understood, complained, conflicted because of their different class perceptions... to constantly insisted on their own position and tried to blame and change... After learning that Jessica passed the exam, Val was happy from...
