During my entire childhood I went to my grandmother's house
in the the countryside, such a really poor place called "Cachoeira
de Almas" which means waterfall of souls . There was aways this
old lady called Silvinha my grandmother's niece who helped her
doing the vegetable garden and cooking. As I grew up, I started
to get to know about Silvinha's history and who she really was.
This series was shoot in a day that she decided to remember
and tell me about her past. A lot of pain and proud about the
memories. After many year she dressed up as she used to dress,
put make up as she as used to do and pose as she use to pose
during the days that she was one of the most beautiful drag
queens. Milton de Almeida, his real name.
