The Second Mother (Brazil)

Live-in maid to a wealthy São Paolo family, Val takes her job seriously. So complete is Val’s devotion to her work that she hasn’t seen her own daughter, Jessica, in 10 years. That finally changes when Jessica moves in to take her college entrance exams, but the happy reunion curdles (to great comic effect) when the bright, confident daughter refuses to accept the second-class treatment her mother takes for granted.
