The film`s purpose is to make known questions about pop culture, behavior, politics and sexual diversity. Through the main character, the transvestite Claudia Wonder, we will follow what happened in the city of Sao Paulo in the 70`s, 80`s, 90`s and 2000`s. She broke through prejudice and were able to take the transvestites away from the police columns to the cultural pages of newspapers and magazines, participating in many productions of the Brazilian Erotic Cinema, being part of a punk band and also participating in many plays, as much as how she got involved in the intellectual and political field becoming an important representative in governments organizations of assistance and protection to homosexuals in the spotlight of prejudice.
