SYNOPSIS
An opera singer performs, in an undisciplined manner, across various television appearances. This is Natália de Andrade. Natália feels misunderstood in her greatness because she is, after all, greater than Maria Callas! There are other deluded divas across the world, but none like her. But who was this woman? In her diary, she confesses to an unhappy childhood: the constant quarrels between her father and mother made music her refuge from sadness desde an early age...
A cult has formed around her, with many variations: the general public knows her as the echo of a humorous imitation, while classical musicians see her as an object of fascination. But this cult is built upon the "Natália" character; getting to know the actual person was never the priority.
