Mother / Family Roles in Brazil

A topic that I wish I can get more participation from the fairer gender...


I have just watched "Minha Mãe É Uma Peça Legendado" on youtube and I am not sure whether this is comedy or reality. 


My original thought - if this is reality, the mother role is more complicated that I thought it was in Brazil.  How can mothers not need therapy to survive?


Are there more movies that are recommended to understand the stresses that mothers / women have to face specifically in Brazil?
