Maids

Five maids in São Paulo are observed in this episodic, impressionistic film. The women interact with each other, ride busses, work, and have longings: Rai for a husband, Créo for her lost daughter, Roxane for a career in modeling. Quitéria is naive, a gull for thieves. Cida has a husband and also a lover. While each woman gets what she wishes for (more or less), it doesn't always make things better. As Roxane says, no child sets out to become a maid. But once there, are all other doors closed?

Maids is a 2002 drama comedy movie, starring Lena Roque, Olivia Araújo, Cláudia Missura. It holds an IMDb rating of 7.2/10 from 1,424 votes and runs 1h 25m.
