Doce de Mãe (English: Sweet Mother) is a Brazilian comedy-drama television series starring Fernanda Montenegro.

The series is a co-production of Globo and Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre, an independent production company. For her performance in the role of Picucha, Fernanda Montenegro was nominated to International Emmy Award for Best Actress.[1] In 2013, Montenegro won the Award by the same role in the special shown in 2012, which gave rise to the series of the same name.[2]

Plot

[edit]

Picucha (Fernanda Montenegro) may seem old-fashioned, but she has modern ideas and a great sense of humor. As the matriarch of a big family, she is involved in the daily lives of her children, grandchildren and other relatives. Undeterred by the typical problems of old age, she uses her many years of experience to solve problems in the best way possible.

Her children are becoming less and less comfortable with the fact that she still lives alone in the house at her age. However, it is Picucha herself who surprises everyone when she makes the spontaneous decision to move to a nursing home.

She revolutionizes her new home by organizing gambling and concerts. It is there that she also has an idea about how to help her unemployed son—start a business that resells the benefits normally reserved for the elderly, such as parking places and preferential customer service. However, despite her lively lifestyle there, Picucha decides to leave the home and return to her family, thereby starting a sequence of living at her children's houses.

In addition to all of these activities, this indefatigable woman still needs to address other issues such as the suspicion that her late husband had a daughter out of wedlock. She not only solves the mystery but also discovers that she feels a motherly love for the young girl.
