Gustavo sells sausages which he carries around the city on his truck. He lives at the working-class periphery of São Paulo, in a neighborhood comprised mostly of immigrants of diverse origins. He has a wife, a son, and a daughter. Gustavo's daughter, named Flora, works as a housemaid at a posh house. When her employers go out on a vacation trip, she gets to be alone in their big house. She does not resist the temptation of borrowing some clothes from her employers. She meets a rich young man to whom she pretends to be rich.
Comedy whose initial section depicts an immigrant neighborhood in scenes which are close in style to Italian neo-realism. The middle section suffers from of a poorly thought-out plot, but if one is willing to suspend disbelief, it is possible to mildly enjoy the follow-up which shows, with a mix of comedy and drama, the cultural and economical disparities between social classes in Brazil.
