O Sexualista

1977 · 1h 46m

Fábio, a mediocre and broke writer, is evicted for unpaid rent and even ends up in jail after a police raid on a brothel. His life changes when he unexpectedly inherits the fortune of his wealthy uncle Casemiro — only for the old man to recover soon after. Suddenly wealthy, Fábio dives into high-society parties while trying to finish a “dictionary of sex” and turn his new lifestyle into personal and sexual success. He reconnects with his former lover Gina, who introduces him to Candy, a glamorous nightclub performer who becomes central to his fantasies and ambitions. As scandals unfold and secrets come to light — including Candy’s identity as a travesti — Fábio becomes trapped between desire, money, social appearances and his own insecurities, forcing him to confront what he really wants from life.
