Romance da Empregada

Fausta is a survivor who dreams of building a house on land she's buying on the installment plan. Meanwhile she lives in a one-room tin-roofed hovel with her idle husband, João, and she works as a maid. The elderly but randy Zé, who carries advertising signs at the train station, buys her perfume and invites her to spend Sundays with him. She accepts. After João injures his foot, stops work, drinks more, and wallows in self pity, Fausta sees Zé as her way out, if he'll help her buy the land and build a house. Through it all she's a scourge, arguing, jeering and being jeered, but also displaying the spirit and energy of her idol, Tina Turner.

Uma empregada doméstica (Betty Faria) trabalhava arduamente, tendo que suportar as exigências da patroa, e em casa tinha de aturar um marido desempregado e bêbado. Mas apesar de tudo sonhava em ser feliz e um dia encontrou um homem bem mais velho, que acreditava na vida e queria morar com ela. Apesar de existir por parte dela um interesse financeiro ela sente um grande carinho por este senhor, que a trata tão bem.
