Macabea has just moved to the big city after her aunt, who raised her, died. She gets a job as a typist and moves into a boarding house with three other women. In her spare time she listens to time Radio Station; on Sundays she likes to ride the subways. She describes herself saying, "I am a typist and a virgin, and I like Coca-Cola." Then she meets Olimpico, a north-easterner like herself, who has dreams of becoming a Congressman. (imdb)

Em honra de Suzana Amaral (1932 - 2020). A gente sabe que esse será phoda pelo primeiro plano: um gato miando. Semioticamente sabemos que o gato é o feminino oprimido e o filme todo carrega essa terrível verdade: Macabea sendo oprimida em todas as instâncias: amorosa, financeira, social e afins. Absolutamente terrível e brilhante. Coleção Folha/Versátil Grandes Livros no Cinema.

More remembered as a decent adaptation of a hard-to-adapt novel than actually for what it really is: a typical melancholic and cruel drama about a North naive girl who comes to the big city and finds there a mix between hope and pain, love and resignation. An everyday Brazilian tragedy filmed in close range (and with a heavy-handed look, specially near the end) by Suzana.
