Bandit, lover, rebel, homosexual, marginalized, and adoptive father, João Francisco dos Santos, reigned in the streets of Lapa, Carioca, during the 30's, where he invented his own mythology in which he turned himself into 'Madame Satã', a name he borrowed from the movie Homônimo by Cecil B. De Mille made in the 1930's. The story takes place in 1932, the moment when João's dream of becoming a famous performer becomes a reality. (Translation by Jessica Batista)
