Our take

What are the challenges of being a wife, mother, and daughter at once in today’s fast-pacing world? This domestic drama starring beloved actress Maria Ribeiro (Elite Squad) surely gives the right answers. A poignant, light-hearted character study that feels universally resonant throughout.
