Show Description

Ever since she left her hometown and birth name behind, Cassandra decided she would go to great lengths to meet her desire and become who she is now: a free and independent trans woman. After years going through hell, things start looking up. Cassandra has a boyfriend she adores and in addition to working as a motorbike courier in downtown São Paulo, she fulfilled her dream of performing in shows singing Vanusa, a romantic singer who was a hit during the 70s in Brazil. She also finally managed to rent a studio apartment. For the first time in her life, Cassandra has a place of her own! But there is a huge turnaround when an old friend - Leide - shows up with a ten-year-old kid and says he’s her son.
 
Gersinho wants a father. Leide wants to share the responsibilities with someone. Cassandra just wants to be free. But she’s going to realize she doesn’t need to be alone in order to be free. And that letting go doesn’t imply in losing everything that she conquered. The new and loving relationship she builds with the boy is going to turn Cassandra into a much more complete woman than she could have ever imagined.
