My Mom Is a Character

In Niteroi, middle-class homemaker Dona Herminia lives with her teenage son Juliano, who is gay, and her teenage daughter Marcelina, who is obese. Her husband Carlos Alberto has left her to live with a younger bimbo, Soraia. When Carlos Alberto and Soraia go to the club with Juliano and Marcelina in his sports car, Dona Herminia overhears the "children" making fun of her and decides to take a time-out in the home of her aunt Zelia to calm down. As days pass, she misses Juliano and Marcelina and tells Zelia stories of her life with her kids. Meanwhile, the siblings realize how much they need her at home.
