A weak and pointless drama about the lives of three female teachers (Faria, Abujamra and Stefania) in a public school in the outskirts of São Paulo. All the time the movies tries hard to be taut, compelling but fails miserably developing only a shallow and not original plot .If you really want to know more about the social problems in a country like Brazil see "Pixote" by Hector Babenco instead this one. Anyhow, Blat gives a good performance as a crazy junkie. I give this a 05 (five).
