The meeting of two different women going through difficult life situations, played by excellent actresses, is not only a psychological probe, but thanks to the setting in the city of Fortaleza, it also depicts the ills of Brazilian cities. Armando Praça thus deservedly becomes another of the striking directors of the independent film of the Brazilian northeastern region. See more here.
