Based on the short story "Tati, a Garota" ("Tati, the Girl"), by Aníbal M. Machado.
Manuela and her daughter Tatiana (Tati for short) move from her humble house to an apartment. Manuela is unmarried, and Tati is an impossible kid. Manuela works as a seamstress and Tati makes friends in their neighborhood. Manuela finds it hard to make ends meet and, to complicate things further, is pregnant again. A boat captain becomes attached to the two.
Not very good. It has obvious deficiencies of mise-en-scene, and is plagued by often inadequate vocal utterances. Carvana is miscast as a boat captain. The fact that the movie is almost invariably attributed an erroneous title in Brazilian film dictionaries is a dead giveaway that practically no one in that country has watched it.
