Doce de Mãe

It was written and directed by Jorge Furtado and Ana Luiza Azevedo, and Fernanda Montenegro stars as Dona Picucha.

Picucha (Fernanda Montenegro) may seem old-fashioned, but she has modern ideas and a great sense of humor.

As the matriarch of a big family, she is involved in the daily lives of her children, grandchildren and other relatives.

It is there that she also has an idea about how to help her unemployed son—start a business that resells the benefits normally reserved for the elderly, such as parking places and preferential customer service.

In addition to all of these activities, this indefatigable woman still needs to address other issues such as the suspicion that her late husband had a daughter out of wedlock.
