Gilda is a free woman, in the most literal sense of the word. She has excellent culinary skills, raises pigs and chickens in the backyard of her home for slaughter and produces recipes capable of enchanting her friends, family and lovers. Her independence bothers the neighborhood, especially Cacilda, wife of Ismael who is running for public office through a party linked to a religious group.

Gilda é uma mulher livre, no mais amplo sentido da palavra. Tanto desapego e independência incomoda a vizinhança, principalmente a esposa de um pastor com aspirações eleitorais.
