Clara, a nurse looking for work in São Paulo, accepts a position helping Ana, a wealthy woman preparing for the birth of her child. Their arrangement begins as employment, shaped by differences in class and circumstance, but proximity gradually produces a more intimate connection. Ana’s unusual behavior during pregnancy brings an unsettling element into the household, even as the women grow closer. Domestic routines, desire and apprehension occupy the same space, and Clara finds herself drawn into responsibilities she could not have anticipated when she took the job. Moving between social drama and supernatural horror, the film considers care and belonging through a relationship that changes the meaning of family and the limits of protection.
