Copacabana

Barbara, a woman in her fifties, lives in a trailer by the coast, selling trinkets to tourists. Her life, filled with garish wigs and performative cheer, is a facade masking financial precarity and a strained relationship with her grown daughter, Esmeralda. When the daughter decides to have a traditional wedding, Barbara is forced to play the part of a 'normal' mother, shedding her eccentric persona. This journey forces a confrontation with ghosts of the past, social conventions, and her own deep-seated fear of rejection, tearing her between the desire for self-expression and the need to belong.
