This Brazilian documentary follows four drag‑queen artists — Tchaka, Hellena Borgys, Márcia Pantera and Vera Ronzella — as they share their personal journeys, performances and identities. Filmed between late 2022 and early 2023, the film explores both the celebratory, glamorous side of drag performance and the challenges these performers face (prejudice, resistance, the work of building a public art identity). Beginning with their stories and everyday lives, the documentary invites viewers into their creative worlds — how each developed their persona, how they navigate their art in society, and how they claim their truth on stage and off.
