Based on one of the most popular contemporary plays in Brazil and a first (co-directing) feature from the director of CITY OF GOD, MAIDS recounts the true stories of some of the three million women in Brazil who work as domestic servants. Young or old, single or married, happy or bitter, their stories are lovingly told and their lives celebrated. + Stepping By the Old Lady / No Passo de Veia (Dir Jane Malaquias, 2001, 15 mins) + Coruja (Dirs Marcia Derrail & Simplicio Neto, 2001, 15 mins)
