Three Summers (Tres Veroes)

Unfolding over the course of three consecutive summers — 2015 to 2017 — the film follows Madá (Regina Casé), a caretaker for luxury condominiums owned by a wealthy Rio de Janeiro family as she relies on her resourcefulness and her eye for opportunity to take advantage of whatever comes her way. With every dizzying new turn of events, Madá manages to retain her high spirits, her sense of loyalty to those who deserve it — and her eagle eye for opportunity. Showcasing the rare talents of Brazilian acting legend Regina Casé — star of THE SECOND MOTHER and ME YOU THEM — the latest feature from director Sandra Kogut (CAMPO GRANDE) is a brilliant comedy about gross class disparity and the infinite resourcefulness of those who can never take anything for granted.
