About Pensionato das Vigaristas
Six girls live in a boarding house and, in order to survive, form a gang of pickpockets, operating behind school uniforms. One day, they meet a Lady in Black who hires them to form a professional gang, of which she would be the leader, indicating the victims and locations through notes and phone calls. But one night, one of the girls is arrested at a nightclub by a decoy, a young woman used by the police to infiltrate suspicious environments. The gang is then dismantled, and the girls go to prison to answer for their crimes.
Directed by Oswaldo de Oliveira, Pensionato das Vigaristas leans on a strong ensemble — Sueli Aoki, Íris Bruzzi, Wilson Grey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1978.
