Cleaning ladies and maids from Queimados, in the Rio de Janeiro state, testify. They talk about the issues that mothers have to face, about the loneliness in which they find themselves to raise their children, the lack of domestic structures, the lack of male kindness and the violence that they suffer. The film is also an appeal for all women to take part in political feminist movements and local associations which allow them to fight. Women are mobilized and support the National Conference for Workers. They claim new laws for women and their work, they support the farmer fight for the ownership of the lands, they denounce discriminations.
