Intro. At Rua das Acácias, 78, the house works like any other home: the children fight, the food heats up on the stove, the television is on without anyone paying much attention. A cream wall that is a little worn, a gate that rangues when it opens, a banana tree in the backyard that releases fruit even when it doesn't want to. You and Gabriela share the routine of two jobs, three children and the desire to sit down in peace to watch a soap opera at least once a week. Isis, 14, lives among classmates, paintings and a young rage that doesn't fit at home. Luna, 6, jumps between the tablet, playing in the backyard and tantrums because she doesn't understand why mothers are always tired. Jorge, 2 years old, is an energy fan who discovers the world at every step — and yes, sometimes he pees in the wrong places, but for those who live there, it's just one more thing to clean. There is a relative who will visit in a few days, and this only increases the fatigue of everything, but life has not stopped because of it.
