Bianca manages a precarious living as a talented but underemployed actress in Rio de Janeiro, performing for private events dressed as female movie icons. Troubled by the thought she has missed her chance at a \u201cbig break,\u201d she perseveres with single-minded dedication to her craft\u2014until an audition leads to a rare opportunity, and possible redemption for years of social marginality. But her world may still prove too insecure, even for one as gifted and deserving as Bianca. Set against rich visuals and a down-to-earth tone, Karine Teles\u2019s remarkable lead performance drives an enveloping drama of everyday tragedy in the working world of an artist.<\/p>\n
