Elizabeth is a transsexual woman who finds herself exhausted from enduring the prejudiced pressures of her mother Morgana, a megalomaniac widow who dreams of living in the potiguar political elite to which she belonged before her husband and former politician died. She insists on getting her oldest daughter Carol married to Darcy, the son of the leading candidate for the state government and a family friend. In the midst of all this, Elizabeth awakens a strong, hidden feeling in her sister's suitor.
