Glória manages to get a divorce and moves away, taking her daughters and the desire to start over. As she tries to turn the new house into a home and her body into a place of belonging, she faces, on the factory floor, a delicate competition for a supervisor position between colleagues and her best friend. Courage takes shape as anguish seeps into the flesh.
This project was born of the desire to tell the stories of Glória, of Glórias, ours too. Dreams, desires, relationships, challenges, phobias, obsessions, and exhaustions.

In the writing of “Knot”, Melo and Saravy harvest, fabulate, and tell their stories and those of other women. Gloria is given another destiny, but she continues in a system that sometimes forces her to override her principles and affections. Despite the harshness and abuse, we have here characters who speak, confront, and protect themselves with lightness and humor. Gloria with her friend Magali and her relationship with her daughters reveal these aspects.
There are many things that move us. Perhaps the first is passion, lust, genuine interest in knowing about the other and, in parallel (and from digging myself) thinking about the world. Depending on my workforce for my livelihood, my mother and grandmother also depended on them, working-class women. Looking at this micro, relating to the macro – who and how were the stories of the world told so far?
What else is a knot if not the exhaustion of this body?
In this fragment of Gloria’s life, we accompany her rediscovering as a woman, mother, friend, and worker, letting the public wonder about the choices we all must make. In the dialogue between moral and immoral, accusation and defense, heroine and villain, in these open cracks, we believe resides the power of cinema.
