Synopsis
Answering to an advertisement in a newspaper, eighty-three women tell their life stories in a studio. In June 2006, twenty-three of them were selected and filmed at the Glauce Rocha Theater, in Rio de Janeiro. In September of that same year, professional actresses played the stories told by the chosen appliers. Their images cross: who’s the “real character”? Who’s the “actress”? What is, after all, representation?
