I know I told Edilene that I'll

give whatever I can to my...

grandson...

and so will Alex, I know R$ 75

isn't much for a baby.

- That 's Alex's allowance?

- It 's what he earns!

If he earns 2OO it should be

I couldn't wait for the day when

she would finally be born!

Her birth was rather complicated,

because when the time came...

I had no strength, I couldn't

push to help the baby out...

so the doctor had to put his elbow

on my belly and force it.

After she was born I didn't

think about anything else...

the only thing I could do was

stare at her.

Nothing else, just gazing.

I hope that,

if he's really interested...

he'll come to see his daughter.

It 's only normal,

he's the father...

so he'll have to come

and see her.

Oh, boy!

No, let 's go!

I can't believe this girl.

It hurts more now.

Mom!

Easy, easy now.

Your mother's right

here with you.

That 's it.

Oh I'm going to die!

Pull her out, doctor,

pull her out!

I'm taking her now because she

needs to stay in a warm cot, okay?

You can't go any further, guys!

Excuse me.

ADAPTING NURSING HOME

Today I was asleep when milk

started coming out of my breast...

I woke up in the night and

my arm was all sticky...

I thought I was dribbling.

Then I saw my blouse was wet,

the sheet was wet, me.

So much milk coming out of

my little breast, all this?

I don't know, it must be weird

when the baby's so delicate...

I told my mother,

I can't bathe it...

how are you supposed to hold

such a delicate child?

I can't wait for it to be born,

to see the face, what it 's like.

Some pregnant women don't

have sex, say they don't like it.

I don't think it 's bad,

it 's good.

They say it bothers them but it

doesn't, it doesn't bother me.

You're tired, it 's lunchtime.

You like her, Paulinha?

Come here, Talita!

Who are all these girls?

Who is it?

You see?

Isn't she cute?

Look at her little hand.

Life is rather difficult now.

When one baby cries,

the other also cries...

if one cries the other wakes up.

I have to look after both of them,

mine and my mother's.

So it 's tough.

I'd like to study but it 's

impossible now.

I can't stop him crying.

Not even the other one...

- How old are you now?

- Twenty-one.

Twenty-one.

Twenty-one,

you'll still suffer plenty!

It 's so tough,

having children.

I know because I've been through it,

I know what I went through...

what I lost because

of my children.

Your fingers will have to dig,

wrench with your bare hands...

your bloody nails. Because

there's one to look after...

and the other, if they play

tough you go to jail.

Is he chubbier than his father?

Strong, aren't you?

I can't stand it anymore,

I can't stand it!

Luana, give her to me!

Luana!

It 's more work than

I expected.

Because being a mother is getting

in the way of a lot of things.

I used to make sports...

I've had to stop going to my

course on Saturdays...

I can only go to school

at night.

Last night I couldn't go

because of her.

Now I see how much I regret

having done this...

because my mother is doing

everything on her own...

and she has run up a lot of

debts because of me.

My dream is to get a job,

bring up Kamyle...

and take the weight of my

mother's shoulders.

The anger has passed, mostly.

When I see him it

makes me happy.

We talk and are

back together.

But on the one hand it was good to

have split up, because everyone...

said he'd go back to her and

now I can see he didn't...

he hasn't gone back

to her so far.

It 's nothing like what

I imagined.

Now it 's no use thinking of myself...

because I've got

to think of her first, before me.

I'm fine alone with my daughter,

enough, it 's over.

Just me and her is fine.

And anyway, apart from that

I still like her father...

so what 's the point of finding

someone else?

Just for me to suffer and make

someone else suffer? It 's no use.

This one's the same.

Red?

Go on, then.

Lower your hand a little.

There, there!

There we are, Mariana,

enough already!

There, finished!

Pain in the neck!

Cry baby!

Push the dummy out.

She's my doll.

I'm back playing with dolls!

Three months after we

finished filming,

Evelin's boyfriend was killed in

a confrontation with the police.

He left a four-month-old daughter

and Evelin, a widow at 13.
