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.

Meeting the girl from your school in a record store, going to her house and losing your virginity? Everyone went through something similar in adolescence... Didn't you? Would it be because you're not Jack White?
