Garbage collector Gal has had enough of her violent partner. She packs her children onto the garbage cart and flees to her cousin’s house to seek protection and give her children a safe life. With incredible willpower and physical strength, she runs through the streets of São Paulo—turning the daily struggle for survival into an adventure for her children.
She finally seems to be safe at her cousin’s house, but when her cousin’s husband calls her partner, she has to face him again. Torn between her own feelings and the feeling of betrayal, Gal flees once more when she realizes that not only her own safety but also her children’s future is at stake.
A powerful feminist road movie about escaping violence, carried by an impressive acting performance.
