Known for her understated portrayals of Brazil’s neglected classes, Sandra Kogut gives us a backstairs view of a luxury vacation home over the course of three summers. Star of award-winning hit The Second Mother, Regina Casé is our appealing guide as the gregariously quippy housekeeper Madá, whose boss has been implicated in a countrywide corruption scandal. Madá is no stranger herself to a little corruption, though on a much smaller scale, from running a covert food delivery service out of her employer’s kitchen to eventually maintaining the abandoned household by running boat tours of other homes whose owners have also been jailed. Director Kogut largely skirts the real-life scandal that helped topple Brazil’s most powerful politicians and ushered in an even more disastrous administration. Instead she focuses where she always has, on the folks at the bottom forced to find creative ways to get by no matter who’s at the top.
Madá (Regina Casé) es nuestra guía atractiva como la ama de llaves socialmente burlona cuyo jefe ha sido implicado en un escándalo de corrupción en todo el país. Con su jefe encarcelado, el personal restante de la casa de lujo se queda atrás esperando salarios atrasados. Desarrollada a lo largo de un escándalo de corrupción brasileño de la vida real, esta rica dramaturgia examina agudamente la clase mientras Madá usa su ingenio y humor seco para mantener a flote la casa.
