Olhe pra mi de novo
Silvyo Luccio is a man with nonchalance, joy and a subtle sense of humor. As he says, ""I was born a woman, I became a lesbian and now I am a man".". Today he is happy with his wife and they dream of having a baby that could come genetically from both of them. He decides to start a trip searching for answers, in a kind of road movie through Northeast Brazil, collecting testimonies of other people also with complex family settings, excluded by their physical malformations or outcast by society, such as an albino family in the village of Missão Velha, discriminated by their colour..

Traveling in an ultra-religious and sexist society, that reminds him of the humiliating relationship with his own family, he will end up at his teen daughter's house. Although the girl still wants to see her mother in him, Silvyo searches with her some reconciliation with his past.
