Housemaids

Directed by Gabriel Mascaro

With Dilma dos Santos Souza, Flávia Santos Silva, Helena Araújo, Lucimar Roza and Maria das Graças Almeida

Seven adolescents take on the mission of filming, for one week, their family's housemaids and hand over the footage to the director to make a film. The images that confront us uncover the complex relationship that exists between housemaids and their employers, a relationship that confuses intimacy and power in the workplace and provides us with an insight into the echoes of a colonial past that linger in contemporary Brazil.
