The official logline teases a complex character who challenges societal norms, setting the stage for an intriguing narrative.
To bring this vision to life, the production team spared no effort. They constructed an expansive 1,710m² set and crafted an impressive 3,000+ costume pieces, ensuring every detail is authentic. The directing team, led by Hugo de Sousa, includes Bia Coelho, João Boltshauser, Rogerio Sagui, and Thiago Teitelroit, who bring their unique perspectives to the project.
Executive producers Adriana Silva, Roberta Guzzon, and Tayane Saad, along with Mariano César and Anouk Aaron from Warner Bros. Discovery, have overseen this ambitious production.
