Dans le Brésil d'aujourd'hui, il existe un autre pays, invisible, celui des domestiques, des livreurs, des chauffeurs et des voleurs à la petite semaine. Que ce soit Cida, Roxanne, Quitéria ou Raimunda, toutes caressent un rêve: un mariage, un meilleur mari ou une carrière de mannequin. Et toutes partagent le même enfer: la condition de domestique. Domésticas n'est pas un film sur les employées de maison, mais une comédie nourrie de leurs propres histoires, autour de ces petites choses de la vie qui donnent de l'espoir. De nouvelles rencontres, la musique et la solidarité créent des moments de joie. Il existe un pays à l'intérieur du Brésil: l'univers invisible des domestiques. Si ce Brésil ignoré disparaissait, les Brésiliens se retrouveraient dans le chaos le plus total.
