在这部玛露剧情片中,屋漏偏逢连夜雨，贫民区的破落房子恰是母女三代关系写照。玛鲁是过气舞台演员，个性狂放，离婚后留在里约热内卢，与虔诚顽固母亲同住，自然充满磨擦。玛鲁的女儿也是演员，久别重逢，表面平静的相处亦充满暗涌。玛鲁是曾受暴政压迫的一代，梦想建造自己的剧场，重拾演艺事业，只是人生并不顺遂。巴西导演柏度弗雷首部长片，改编其母亲故事，凸显代际间总是互相伤害互相为难的撕裂关系。雅拉迪诺华丝演绎外表轻狂内心脆弱的玛鲁，举手投足神采飞扬。
Malu, a 50 year old unemployed actress living off memories of her glorious past, shares a run-down home in a Rio de Janeiro slum with her conservative mother, whilst also dealing with a troubled relationship with her own daughter.
