A young woman from high society decides to raffle herself to raise money to complete the construction of a hospital, a social project she has dedicated herself to. She takes a nude photograph, orders several copies made, which are numbered and sold. The plan was initially intended to be limited to those close to her, and various measures were taken to ensure the photograph would not be seen by a limited circle. However, these measures prove unsatisfactory, and soon the raffle goes beyond the limits controlled by its promoter. The event becomes the talk of the town, and the raffle photos are sold and voraciously purchased everywhere on the streets, in universities, offices, and stores.

Dolores Duran: O Coração da Noite (2023)
With a short and intense life, Dolores Duran left her name in the pantheon of great names in Brazilian music. Living in a time when women had to follow strict moral standards, Dolores had no doubts: she spent the night in bars and parties, drank, smoked and allowed herself to be free to relate to whoever she wanted, challenging the macho structure of the 1950s. With many archival footage and testimonials from friends, family and ex-boyfriends, the film tells the story of an important and little-remembered character.
