From the beginning of the film: "This is the story of a new twist on the oldest profession. The film follows a group of Brazilian prostitutes over two years as they work not only the streets of Rio, but those of Paris, Rome and Milan." The twist is that these prostitutes are gay, transexual and transvestite.

The story of three characters in a brothel room: the prostitute Neusa Sueli, the gigolo Vado and the homosexual Veludo speak of their lives and expose their marginality.

Eight iconic performers of the first generation of Brazilian transvestite artists go on stage to celebrate their 50th career jubilee. The film depicts the human, personal dimension behind these icons, deconstructing gender stereotypes.
