Life in the rundown Portuguese suburb of Padre Cruz, a slum on the edge of Lisbon, is filled with violence and poverty. A devoted single mother, who shares cramped quarters with her two young-adult children and sister, will do almost anything to transcend her family’s destiny. Stars Rita Blanco, featured in The Gilded Cage, shown in 2014. Contains one brief scene of frontal nudity.
