Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of São Paulo, is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana as the nanny for her unborn child. The two women develop a strong bond, but soon Clara discovers a terrifying secret about the child.

If you loved Good Manners, the closest films we have are November (2017), They Look Like People (2016) and I Walked with a Zombie (1943). All three share Good Manners' dreamlike and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
