The Second Mother

After abandoning her daughter Jessica in a tiny village in Pernambuco to be reared by relatives, Val spends the following thirteen years working as a nanny for Fabinho in So Paulo. She has financial stability but must live with the guilt of not having reared Jessica herself. As Fabinho's university entrance examinations approach, Jessica reappears in her life and appears eager to give her mother a second shot. Jessica was not raised to be a servant, and her very existence will disrupt Val's routine. Anna Muylaert examines with precision and wit the subtle and potent dynamics that maintain strict class structures and how the youth may be the ones to disrupt them.
