Vanda Duarte plays herself in the second film in the Fontainhas trilogy. She stars with her sister Lena, portraying two drug-addicted women who spend their days smoking crack while their building is being demolished. Despite the harsh circumstances, Costa manages to infuse the film with humor and humanity as he watches the young women bicker with their mother about housekeeping.
