CGiii Comment

The taxi driver Berenice is under a family crisis with her male chauvinist husband and her son, whom is discovering his sexual identity. The murder of a transgender at Copacabana beach makes her start an investigation on her own, what turns her world upside down.


Berenice é uma mulher dedicada ao trabalho de taxista no Rio de Janeiro. É consumida pela profissão e o pouco tempo que lhe sobra precisa ser dividido entre a criação do filho Thiago, um adolescente descobrindo sua sexualidade, e sua conturbada relação com o marido Domingos, repórter policial. As marcas do relacionamento desgastado, arruinado pelos rompantes violentos do marido, apagaram sua feminilidade e a levaram a um grande vazio existencial. O assassinato de Isabelle, uma linda transgênero, na praia de Copacabana, acende seu lado investigativo e transforma sua vida.
