About Brenda Lee and the Palace of Princesses
A musical that brings a bit of the history of Brenda Lee, called the "guardian angel of transsexuals", activist who founded the first support house for people with HIV/AIDS in Brazil. She has a pension for trans women who, for the most part, live off prostitution. Despite the reality of violence in which they live, inside the house, the transsexuals are welcomed by Brenda, who teaches them to want more out of life.
Directed by Zé Henrique de Paula, Laerte Késsimos, Brenda Lee and the Palace of Princesses leans on a strong ensemble — Veronica Valenttino, Ambrosia, June Weimar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
