Synopsis

Sandra and Mariana are cousins, and their past comes to light when they move in together in the same house where they grew up. Sandra, 35, is a black woman with dark skin. Mariana, 34, is a light-skinned black woman. Ivone, Sandra’s mother, worked as a resident maid for Mariana’s family. Sandra challenges the romanticized version that Mariana has of their history, which ignores that Sandra, even as a child, worked in the house with her mother. To break the oppression cycle, they will need to understand their differences and recognize themselves as equal.
