Janete is an aging revue performer who does not realize she is no longer a big star. Her manager nurtures her illusion by providing fake admirers for her. A struggling writer has written a play which he intends for his ballerina fiancée to star on, and tries to persuade Janete to produce it and play a secondary role. She mistakes his approach for a romantic one, and retributes. To complicate things further, she decides to play the lead role.
This film is an odd combination of farcical and pathetic elements, with musical numbers thrown in for good measure. One could argue that it falls short both in the dramatic and comic aspects, but the musical numbers are above the average for Brazilian films of that period.
