Synopsis
Graça dreams of giving her daughter Claudia a debutante ball, despite the financial problems she faces. She is a public school teacher, raises her daughter alone, and has accumulated debts over the years. The unfair pay, the precarious working conditions, and the pressures of everyday life make her unaware of what is happening to her daughter: Cláudia is pregnant. Without the courage to open up to her mother, and with the help of her boyfriend, she plans to burglarize her own house in order to obtain the money for an abortion. But the venture doesn't go as planned.
