Gloria is a trans woman who has taken charge of her life. She is independent, has a home, a successful restaurant and a young trans protégé living with her. Into this comes her estranged sister Grace and her two kids. Grace is dying and needs Gloria's help in looking after the children since she's got no other family. I saw this film at the Kashish International Queer Film Festival in Mumbai and it's an interesting feel-good depiction of a sorted transgender person. It's also a family drama, with the characters dredging out old secrets and grievances, as happens in all family themed films. Incidentally, Gloria gets herself a boyfriend in the film, a hunk who had the gay audience clapping and whistling! Good to see Brazil producing such a watchable LGBT film.
