A very clean comedy!

Fernando Meirelles´fresh and funny look to the life of cleaning ladies.

In Rotterdam festival 2001.

In the heart of Brazil, there lives another Brazil: the ¨invisible´workforce of maids. If this invisible Brazil would disappear, Brazilians would be left alone with a big visible mess. `Maids´ is a comedy. It´s not a film about maids, but it´s a maids film. It´s the story of Cida, Roxanne, Quiteria, Raimunda and Creo. Typical maids. Each of them with a dream: one wants to get married. the other one is already married but wants a better husband. Another one wants to quit as a maid to become a model, actress and celebrity. One beieves, that her mission in life is to serve God and her Boss. They all have a different idea of Paradise, but they all share the same hell: to be maids.
