Avenca, a dreamy actress, embodies the resilience of someone who has learned to survive through adversity. From her notebook of memories springs a vivid narrative, where cinema becomes a space to be occupied—inhabited by transvestites who dream, love, teach, and contemplate community in broad daylight. Avenca draws strength from melodrama, amplifying her creator’s voice, shaping the certainty of victory through her capacity for struggle. (Bruno Hilário)
