At Stream Tracker, we keep an eye on where to watch standout films like The Second Mother (Que Horas Ela Volta?), Anna Muylaert’s 2015 drama about Val, a long‑time nanny in São Paulo whose carefully ordered household is upended when her daughter Jessica reappears after 13 years. Equal parts intimate domestic portrait and sharp social critique, the film uses the cramped rooms of the house, the tension around Fabinho’s university entrance exams and the shifting boundaries between servant and family to expose Brazil’s rigid class divides. Widely praised by critics, it premiered at Sundance and went on to earn several international and Brazilian awards. Looking for it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+? In this article we’ll check where The Second Mother is currently streaming and how to find it.

Synopsis

Val abandoned her daughter Jessica in a tiny Pernambuco village to be raised by relatives, then spent the next thirteen years in São Paulo as Fabinho’s caregiver. She achieves a measure of financial security but lives under the constant weight of having given up her child. As Fabinho prepares for university entrance exams, Jessica reappears, hoping to rebuild a bond with the mother she barely knows. Refusing the role of invisible domestic servant she might have been expected to play, Jessica’s presence upends Val’s carefully ordered life. With sharp, restrained humour and quiet precision, the film exposes the subtle forces that sustain rigid class boundaries—and suggests that the younger generation may be the one to unsettle them.
