Synopsis

Suzana Amaral's debut feature explores the poignant life of Macabéa, an inarticulate and poor young woman who has left her rural home in Brazil's northeast to make her way in the city of Sao Paulo. Her attempts to succeed in the workplace often end in failure, and her romance with Olímpico, another social outcast longing for something better, does not fulfill her dreams of love.
Then a seer promises that a wonderful event will transform Macabéa's life -- but once again, reality is crueler than Macabéa has imagined...
