name.. My name is Mateus, your age .. My age is 36

i have no major work experience but i lived in sao paulo before

Mateus, can you come in?

Feel free.

Sit down there.

Excuse me.

I'll make you some coffee.

Thank you.

Do you eat eggs?

I do.

Look, there's cake, bread, orange juice.

You can eat whatever you want, okay?

Wow, that's a lot of food.

Thank you.

The lunch is always at one in the afternoon.

The dinner is always at seven.

It's always here in the kitchen.

Yes, ma'am.

Just don't be late, because I like to close

everything, sleep peacefully, so... Of course.

And the others?

What others?

The others who work here in the house?

I haven't seen anyone yet.

You haven't seen anyone because there are no others, only you.

What do you mean, it's just me?

Because I'm scared.

No, because this house is so big, how can you take care of everything by yourself?

But I'm not alone, right?

There's you now, right?

Yes, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it.

I told you it was a lot of work.

You did, you did, but I thought there were more people.

There was my father, but he died two months ago.

I'm sorry.

There's Neide.

She comes once a week to do heavy work.

Right.

What do you need to do?

What I need to do in this house is basically to keep it.

To repair the grass when I need it, to do some repairs, I can take a look at

everything and see what needs to be fixed, can I?

Did you bring the document?

I thought I had put it in the wallet.

No, it's okay, it's okay, you can give it to me later.

Give me the work wallet too, please.

I don't have a work wallet, ma'am.

I've always worked as a self-employed.

Ah, I'll fix it later with my accountant.

I need to go.

You eat at will, then just wash the dishes, please, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Take a look at the message I sent you.

It's urgent.

I need this document for tomorrow.

Thanks.

Mateus!

Excuse me.

Do you need anything?

Is there anything in the house that needs to be fixed?

Ah, I haven't had time to see everything yet, but

look, from what I've seen, there's nothing so bad.

And did you go to the warehouse?

No, not yet.

I mean, I even went there, but it was locked, so I couldn't see it.

But if you want, I can go there now.

I don't want to.

There's a lot of my father's stuff, his research,

and I don't want anyone to go there, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Ah, Mateus.

Ah, your documents.

Did you find them?

Ah, I didn't find them.

I thought they were in my pocket, but they weren't.

I must have left them at the pension.

I called, but no one answered.

I'm going to try again.

I hope I didn't drop them on the street.

Yeah, me too.

You can't work here without a document, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're late.

It's just that I went to get the documents.

It took me a while, but they're here.

Ah.

And where were you?

I was at the pension.

They told me not to, but they called me and I ran to get them.

Ah.

Sit down.

That's strange.

What?

Libra.

Huh?

Your sign.

Ah.

Hi.

Good morning, Neide.

Good morning.

How are you?

This is Mateus.

Good morning, Mr. Mateus.

Good morning.

He's the housekeeper.

Ah, good morning.

Pleasure, Neide.

Neide, I left a cheese bread in the oven.

Can you get it for us, please?

Sure.

Thank you.

Ah.

Where is there another job for me to get for Neide?

No, no, no.

She... Have breakfast at my house.

Have your breakfast, you're not going to get up.

Today, Neide is going to clean the room, which is my father's.

I want you to be all his clothes for donation.

You?

Ah.

What's up?

Look.

No one has come yet.

Hmm.

Okay, but how many days are left for the 30 days?

There are six left.

But Dora, no one will come.

It's always the same here.

If no one shows up in the first few days, this is... No, I don't know.

All right.

But we need to follow the procedure, don't we?

You who know.

If you want, I can change it here too.

No, no, no.

You don't need to.

If there's any news, let me know, okay?

I need to go.

I need to work.

No.

I'm here.

Excuse me.

Hi, Matheus.

You can come in.

Just bring these cards here.

What are these cards?

I don't know.

They were in your dad's things, and then I threw

some clothes on top and it only came up this morning.

The clothes.

Hmm?

What's inside?

I don't know, miss.

I can't change what's not mine, can I?

Hmm.

All right.

Thank you, Matheus.

Are you also taking the books away?

Yes.

You know, my mom used to say that the best houses

she worked in were for people who liked to read.

She even had a saying that was...

If you have more money than books, you're not a good person.

Do you like to read?

I do.

I mean, I don't read a lot, but I do.

A gift for you.

For me?

Thank you.

The culture of death in Brazil.

Is it about the police?

No.

You don't want to know about my father?

So here it is.

A little bit of his research.

It's a lot.

I wrote this book before I died.

So your father was a writer too?

A researcher.

What does it say here?

It says about the impact of the cemetery.

The environment.

If you want, there's also literature.

There's Stephen King.

No, no, no.

This is great.

Thank you.

Let's read something different from time to time.

And if I don't know something, I can ask you, right?

I mean, if I don't bother you.

No, no.

You can ask.

Can I go?

You can.

Thank you again for the book.

I've already arranged the gate you asked for.

Oh, that's good.

The garden is beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah.

And my therapy.

Well, I'm free if you want.

I can help you.

No, no, no.

I like to take care of it alone.

All right.

Do you sell these flowers too?

No.

These don't come out of here, no.

I don't know.

They are my Shodó.

These are the songs, right?

What?

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound intrusive.

I meant that the songs are also your Shodó

because I listen to you play music all night.

Oh, okay.

Sorry.

I'm not used to having people here at home.

I'm going to turn down the sound next time.

No, no, please.

It doesn't bother me.

Can you hear from your room?

It's just that sometimes I go out to get some air, read a book and...

and then I end up listening.

And do you like classical music?

I do.

I know.

You're thinking that poor people can only like Samba and Pagode.

No.

No, that's not what I meant to say.

No, but a lot of people think so.

All right.

My grandfather, he used to play classical music and...

and I ended up liking it.

But the one you played yesterday, I had never heard of it.

What did you think?

Different, let's put it that way.

It's the song of the Son of the Devil.

Who?

Paganini.

Do you know him?

No.

Yeah.

No one played the violin like him.

But he played so well that they thought he was the son of the devil.

The church didn't want to bury the man.

People believe in everything, don't they?

Yeah.

People aren't as intelligent as we think.

That's true.

I have to go.

Since I don't have anything else to do, I'm gonna...

You can go get some rest.

Can I go?

Uh-huh.

I went by the sauna and checked things out.

It's all working.

You did?

I didn't go into it or anything.

I just saw it was warming up, that's it.

If you want, you can use it.

The sauna?

Yeah.

Why not?

Yeah.

I don't know, not even for those who work there.

I never understood this sauna thing, you know?

It's because you never went there and you can't try it.

Go on.

Enjoy, it's a beautiful day.

Really?

It's all made of glass.

Go, you can go.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see the lady's car leaving, coming back fast.

I came to see if everything was okay.

Ah.

Did something happen?

No, I forgot my wallet, that's all.

Oh, okay.

I'll go back and do what I was doing.

Excuse me.

Mateus?

Huh?

What about the sauna?

Do you know how it works now?

Yes, yes.

I liked it a lot.

Excuse me.

By the way, if everything is okay, I thought

I'd go back and do a little more tonight.

No, of course, you can go.

Ah.

Uh-huh.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I said there's a time for everything here.

Yesterday you weren't in the kitchen, so I thought it was okay if I...

No, there's no excuse.

I told you that on the first day.

Okay.

I'll let it not happen again.

I'm sorry.

Do you need anything else?

Any help?

Did something happen?

No.

Good night.

Good night.

Mateus!

Hey, Neide.

What are you doing here?

I'm the one asking.

Oh, I came to get something from the florist, from the camera here.

I'll explain it to you later, Neide.

Are you going to stand there looking at me?

Weren't you going to come later?

Mrs. Dora said you were going to come later.

Yes, because I had an appointment.

I had an appointment at the post office.

It took a while.

And the doctor arrived.

The health service is getting worse every day.

It really is, isn't it?

Well, at least we have a job.

And you.

Because I work here in another house.

And putting the two together, it doesn't pay a single salary.

It's really bad, isn't it?

It's bad, it's bad.

Neide, how long have you been working here?

It's been a long time.

And when you arrived, was there anyone else?

When I started, no.

But before me, there was a person.

And who was it?

Oh, I don't know.

It was a housekeeper.

What's his name?

How am I supposed to know if he wasn't here when I arrived?

I don't know.

Maybe he came to sign some document.

Did you see him?

Or did you hear someone say something?

If I had heard or spoken to him, why do you care?

I'm just talking.

I want to know more.

We almost never talk, don't we?

It's better for you to talk about something else.

Because you keep talking about boss life and I don't like it.

You're right.

I'll try to answer you.

Have you been to the basement?

No, why?

I don't know.

I just wanted to go in.

Like you said, it's been a long time since someone came to get things.

I thought there might be a leak, some mishap or something like that.

And I wanted to surprise Ms. Dora about it.

Do you have the key?

No.

I don't have any keys.

And Ms. Dora doesn't like surprises, okay?

Much less the ones you're talking about.

Here.

Go.

Apply it correctly.

And inside.

All right?

I'm playing.

Oh, really?

Okay.

Okay.

Let's go.

I know, Dora, you can't show up like this, all of a sudden.

It's okay.

This is something serious.

This inspection shows up.

Okay, Jorge, I get it.

It's serious.

This one?

Unknown man, 43 years old.

Cause of death, hypothermia.

And malnutrition.

Have you ever thought about ending up like this?

I don't think I'll be able to take him home like this.

He'll notice.

Isn't it an option to tell him?

No.

Not yet.

There's no way to cut it.

I can't take something this big.

There's no piece, nothing.

But it's not a stew, you know?

I don't want it all.

So there's nothing for you.

Please.

Who is it?

Unknown.

But he was found with both hands cut out of the body.

It's a militia thing.

For sure.

This one didn't pay anyone.

I don't know.

He put his hand on someone's wife.

If no one comes looking for the body, I can give you the hands.

No.

It would be perfect.

What about the homeless?

Who is it?

I'm curious to know how someone managed to gain your trust.

Oh, shut up, Jorge.

You should come to town more, you know?

It's good for you.

Get out of that house a bit.

And how much time?

I'll let you know.

It's great.

It's great, Jorge.

Do you need help with all this?

I want you to make dinner today.

Me?

Didn't you say there was a restaurant?

So, I want to try your food.

It was a simple thing, not too much.

Like homemade food, that's it.

I love homemade food.

Oh, I love it too.

My husband used to make bean stew, which I never ate again.

It was the only good thing he did, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, but good food from a restaurant in São Paulo, I never ate.

No, but not too much.

It was like Marmitex, you know?

For neighborhood workers, that's it.

But there's a lot of this kind of food, right?

What's up?

I'll see you later, then.

You can go, Neide.

Already?

Now.

Thank you for staying, okay?

Waiting.

We're getting late.

That's it.

Let's go.

Otherwise, you end up losing.

But, ma'am... Come on.

What's up?

What's up?

I would keep an eye on Mrs. Dora.

No, don't worry, Neide.

No, I find this story of the flower shop very strange.

He on that staircase, everything very poorly explained.

And there's something in his eyes.

What do you mean, in his eyes?

It looks like I've seen those eyes before.

Eyes of someone who has a lot to hide.

Thank you, okay?

Now go, it's getting late.

Good night.

Good night.

What's up?

Do you approve?

Very good.

Wow.

I'm glad you liked it.

Why do you say wow?

Were you afraid I wouldn't like it?

Okay.

This isn't a restaurant.

Yeah, there's a lot of restaurants with bad food.

No, but that's not the case.

It's very good.

You know how to cook.

I like to read.

I listen to classical music.

Why did you become a housekeeper?

So you can see that even with all this, that's what I was able to do.

And look, I'm only being able to do all this

because of what I learned from my grandfather.

Tell me a little more about your grandfather.

There's not much to say.

We were very close, but...

I don't like to talk about it.

Of course.

Neide said that today you...

kept looking at the flower garden?

Uh-huh.

There was a little wind and it took the flower garden from the place.

That's it.

But she didn't tell me you were moving the camera.

Did you have a security camera?

Yes.

The camera's wire is behind the flower garden.

It disconnected.

I was there fixing it.

And why didn't you tell me before?

Oh, you didn't have time.

You asked before.

Next time you tell me before I have to ask.

Okay?

Yes ma'am.

We are going to have a drink.

No, you don't have to.

I'll check it later and see what I can do.

More wine?

More?

Why not?

I know he had a disease.

What was the name of the disease?

I don't remember.

But it made his fingers more flexible.

That's why he played so fast.

He was a unique artist.

At least he used it for music.

Yes.

It turned his life into hell.

Why don't I understand these people who dedicate themselves so much to work?

They are...

How can I say?

They are... Radical?

Yes.

Radical.

I was finishing reading your father's book yesterday.

You finished?

What did you find?

I liked it.

Reading it made me think about this story about Paganini.

This thing you told me that they didn't let him bury his body.

I was thinking, what did they do with his body?

Nobody knows.

Some people say he stayed in the cemetery for three months.

But nobody knows where he is buried.

He didn't die.

He didn't rest in peace.

He managed to.

Dead people don't rest.

Dead people rot.

Damn.

Worse.

They rot everything that is around the earth.

You know I never thought about this.

We die.

We go underground.

And it ruins everything.

Yes.

It ruins everything.

It ruins the earth.

It's terrible.

But people have... this attachment to the body.

This attachment...

to bury a person.

Cemetery and all that.

It's cultural.

There's not much to do.

That's why you cremated your father.

I didn't cremate my father.

My father was a man far ahead of his time.

He...

He was completely against cemeteries, funeral, cremation.

Especially cremation.

Imagine.

It releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.

It's terrible for the environment.

I'm sorry.

I keep saying these technical terms.

I get excited.

No, no.

Please continue.

I'm enjoying it.

Really?

Really.

I think we have to talk about everything, right?

Including death.

Right?

Yeah.

I... I cut you off.

You were saying that your father was a man far ahead of his time.

What did you mean by that?

He...

He fought with everyone.

He fought with society.

He didn't call, you know?

He wasn't even there.

He did his research.

He studied.

He did his experiments.

Like what?

Like what?

Nothing.

Oh, are you saying I cleared your aJo I didn't even use a slipper.

That's a long story, another day I'll tell you.

That's it.

Tell me then.

We have time.

We have time to listen to the song, Mateus.

Listen to the song.

Sara, will you open tonight... Um, this afternoon?

Good afternoon.

I'm going to sleep.

Do you close everything before you leave?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

I'm sick.

Do you have a hangover?

No.

Well, let's take advantage of the fact that you're not hungry.

Let's go to the storehouse.

Do you have the key?

I've never seen this key.

For God's sake, I saw you entering the storehouse.

It was the only thing I asked you, Matheus, for you not to go in there.

I didn't understand why you asked me not to do it, right?

Now I understand.

Understand what, Matheus?

Where's the key?

Hey, boy, where's the key?

Composting.

That's what my father worked all his life for.

That's what we do here.

And the bones I saw there?

Animals.

What animals?

What do you mean?

In the woods.

And people?

Have you ever put people there?

What do you mean, people?

If you do it with an animal, do it with a person, too.

What do you want to know, huh?

Do you understand what I want to know?

Have you ever put a piece of people to turn them into fertilizer?

Obviously not.

This is illegal.

Besides, I don't see any difference between

burying a person and turning them into fertilizer.

It's wrong.

How sad.

What?

You think like that.

Well, unfortunately, you won't be able to continue working here.

What do you mean?

I can't have an employee who judges my work.

I'm sorry.

This is all very new to me.

I didn't know what to think.

I'm not judging.

I just want to understand where I work.

If you had explained to me from the beginning... I just explained to you.

Do you have any more questions?

Do you want to ask me anything else?

No, ma 'am.

It's all right.

Can I continue my work?

For now, yes.

Yes, I couldn't finish today.

But after tomorrow, I can send it to you.

All right.

It's good that you... Did you tell the housekeeper?

Yes.

It's not that simple.

This will work.

Yes, it will.

Especially now that you've found someone...

to continue your father's research with you.

It's not my father's research, Jorge.

Of course.

What I meant was... Look, if I need anything, I'll call you, okay?

Bye.

Bye.

What's up?

Your job.

Where are you going?

To get some bread.

Can't you see?

What do you mean your grandfather died?

Wow.

Where did you get that?

You know that my father died exactly where you are.

Exactly.

He died...

putting fertilizer in a bag.

My mother died here too.

In the same place.

It's funny that I think that...

all this beauty is just to hide some kind of curse.

I thought you were one of those people... who believed in curse.

Do you still think about your father?

Do you know if he's alive?

No.

Come with me.

Come.

Come, Matheus.

Aren't you going to tell me where you're taking me?

I already told you it's a surprise.

What?

Neide said you hate surprises.

What I hate is being surprised.

I brought you here because this is a very important place for me.

Why?

Why?

It was here that I stopped believing in men.

What do I have to do with this?

You know, Matheus...

There are two things...

that I can't... I can't stand.

This...

This I tolerate.

The world is full of shit.

Thank God.

I tolerate.

Now, there are two things... that I hate.

When I don't believe in what I say.

And when they lie to me.

Do you understand?

Do you want to tell me something, Matheus?

I lied my name on R.J.

Is that what you want to know?

Why?

Because I was locked up.

I did shit in São Paulo.

I had to go through the police.

And I wanted to start from scratch.

Then I left and came here.

When I found you, I didn't want to tell the truth.

It's very difficult to understand someone who wants to start from scratch.

Do you think I care about your past?

I don't even know what you did.

It doesn't matter what you're willing to do from now on.

What are you doing here?

I was thinking about what you told me earlier today.

And then I wanted to... But you came in.

Was the door open?

Well, I was thinking about what you told me.

And I wanted you to know that I'm with you.

I'll go with you wherever you want.

If you want, of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I need to sleep.

Okay.

I understand.

Drink your wine.

Sleep well.

I'll leave your favorite for you.

Good night.

Good night.

You don't have coffee?

I know you always prepare coffee.

I thought you'd be offended Do you have anything

else you want me to do without you sending it?

I understand.

So now I'm sending it.

Go make the coffee.

It's funny that I don't usually waste my time.

Did you sleep well?

Today you will take the day off.

I'm going to the city to solve some things.

When I come back, we will hunt.

Hunting.

Did you already know the process?

Today you will know everything.

From the beginning.

Neide!

Sorry for the delay, Mrs. Dora.

I forgot you were coming today.

No, but you know what?

Today I have to do those things that you... No, it's okay, Neide, it's okay.

Matheus is going to make you some coffee.

I'm going to the city.

You can leave at four.

Don't wait for me today.

Okay.

Neide.

Neide!

I told you.

I told you.

Neide, wait.

I need to talk to you.

You went into the bar after all.

I went in.

So you know.

Yes, Neide.

Get out of here, Matheus.

Let me tell you something.

What was the name of the housekeeper before me?

I didn't know anyone besides you in this house, Matheus.

Please.

Neide, please.

Look at this picture.

This guy is my father.

He was here in the garden of this house.

He disappeared.

He didn't call anymore.

He disappeared.

Do you understand why I need to know, Neide?

Men always leave.

Your father was just another one who left the family behind to start a new family.

And that's it.

God knew him.

I didn't know him, but the story is always the same.

Get out of this house.

You won't get anything good here.

This place is great.

Have you ever shot before, Matheus?

No.

To hunt, we need a lot of patience.

I have that.

You do.

But patience is over in an instant.

I want to know what you did to my father.

I know he worked for you.

I don't remember.

I thought your father was dead.

God knows.

God knows is my father's name.

Does that remind you of anything?

I don't remember.

He sent me a letter saying he worked for you.

There are a lot of unemployed thugs who are ashamed to tell

the truth to the family and keep making up these stories.

Shut up!

My father went into that warehouse and saw what you were doing there.

That's what happened, isn't it?

You went in and saw what happened.

He saw people turning into manure in that barrel.

That's what he saw.

And you trying to fool me, trying to fool me, saying you had never done that.

I was going to tell you.

You know what I thought?

That you were almost ready.

That you could be my partner.

That you were already prepared to understand

the greatness of what's in that warehouse.

You have the guts to say that this is greatness?

This is bizarre.

You're sick.

This is simple.

Death means nothing, Matheus.

Please, stop being a hypocrite.

You killed a lot of people.

I saw it in the pictures.

You saw the pictures, but you didn't read the file.

Beautiful detective you are, aren't you?

You know what I don't know what's most disappointing?

Whether it's your cowardice or your naivety.

So?

More cowardly or more naïve?

You're useless.

You're useless, Matheus.

If you kill me here, you're going to jail.

And who's going to arrest me?

You?

I took away all the documents that were in that warehouse.

The bones, the receipts, everything.

That I sent to a friend of mine.

So if I die here, my friend will send it to the police.

You're fucked.

What do you intend with all this?

Prove that you killed my father, fuck.

Your father is not who you imagine.

Son of a bitch.

Your father really worked here at home.

Are you sure?

What happened to him?

One day he came home drunk.

He attacked me.

Your father raped me.

My father was at a congress.

When he arrived, I told him.

Do you know what he did?

He didn't believe in me.

And your father stayed here for many years.

And I had to live with the two of them.

Pretending that it didn't happen.

So you killed him, is that it?

No.

So where is he now?

I don't know.

But he left this house alive.

Unfortunately.

I don't believe in you.

I have his resignation letter.

I can prove it.

I'm going to do your math.

Until the end of the day, I want you out of here.

I just want to find my father.

Give me this letter right away.

Sorry.

I thought it could work.

You die like your father.

As soon as the next candidate arrives, ask him to wait for me at the tree house.

I was thinking of starting selling these bromeliads.

What do you think?

Wow, Mrs. Dora.

Just like these bromeliads, there's nothing like them.

You could sell them with your daughter.

How about making extra money?

Sell them from house to house.

I don't know.

I would love to.

Great.

So today, at the end of the day, you take these bromeliads.

Take them home.

Talk to your daughter.

And then tomorrow you start working.

You have angel hands.

I can see.

That I have good justify.

That's all.

No worries.

Your next offer, we'll find a new bidder.

And she's her.

My希望 be that sweet well-being, so that you follow all your prime enfin.

Good luck with your tickets.

Goodbye.

I'm Júlia.

See you at the next show.

Oh sure.

See you at the next show.

Bye.

A little pause.

..

and we are back.

A little pause... and we are back.

A little pause... and we are back.
