  Mãe só há uma

  A vida do adolescente Pierre vira de cabeça pra baixo quando ele recebe uma denúncia e é obrigado a fazer um teste de DNA. Após o resultado, descobre que a mulher que o criou não é sua mãe biológica, e sim uma estranha que o roubou na maternidade. Assim, ele é obrigado a trocar de família, de nome, de casa, de escola. No meio desse processo, talvez acabe trocando também até de gênero. (Papodecinema)

  Que horas ela volta?

  Que horas ela volta? tells the story of Val, a woman from the Northeastern region of Brazil who works as a live-in maid for a well-to-do São Paulo family. At first, as a very brief scene in the beginning of the film indicates, she worked as a nanny for the family's only child, Fabinho (Michel Joelsas), now a late teen, and for that reason she still has very strong quasi-maternal ties with him. She and her employer, Barbara (Karina Teles), appear to have a warm, friendly, relationship until the arrival of Jéssica (Camila Márdila), Val's daughter, who comes to São Paulo in order to prepare for a university entrance examination ("vestibular") at the School of Architecture. Having been raised unaware of her mother's actual situation, and not having seen her mother for over 10 years, Jéssica finds herself, unexpectedly, living temporarily at the house of Val's employers. She is a self-assured young woman who does not understand her mother's social resignation. With time, her presence at the house creates all kinds of problems: Barbara is driven to distraction and Carlos (Lourenço Mutarelli), Barbara's husband (who is responsible for the family's fortune), becomes so infatuated with Jéssica that he ends up proposing to her. The film has a happy, light-comedy ending: Jessica obtains much better results than Fabinho in the university examination, and Val quits her job and rents a house with her daughter in order to help the latter look after her own son, whose existence is revealed only towards the end of the film.
