Brazil - Pernambuco
Larissa (32), Vânia, (40) and Jéssica (27) are three black women, single mothers in the city of Recife, Northeast Brazil. Each one is going through a difficult situation and would probably never cross paths in life if it weren’t for the need to survive. They come together with the aim of making money, but the meeting of the three generates something much bigger and transformative. Together, they will discover themselves capable of dodging everyday violence in unusual ways.
