El Ajedrez de Colores/ O xadrez das cores / The chess of colors

A black woman goes to work for an old widow, who is extremely racist, generating a great conflict that is sometimes tense and dramatic and other times funny. The two begin real battles on the chessboard, which, in the movie, are pictured in a ludical, magical form, as the pair is literally transported onto a giant chessboard, in a symbolical metaphor which will show the duel that occurs between the black and white people. These duels on the chessboard will determine the twists in the plot, as well as the end.
