Synopsis

edit

Thirty years after leaving Macao for Lisbon, Guerra da Mata returns to his hometown, at the request of Candy, a transvestite whose questionable associations make him fear for his life. As soon as he arrives at the hotel, Guerra da Mata receives a call from a frightened Candy, asking him to urgently join his friend A-Kan in front of a sex shop downtown. Arriving too late at the meeting, Guerra da Mata loses track of Candy.
