Synopsis:
The story is freely inspired by the life and work of one of the most celebrated Brazilian cartoonists of all times, Angeli, who became famous in the 70s by releasing political cartoons in the midst of Brazil’s military dictatorship. In the 80s, he migrated to the daily strips, showing an acid sense of humor to represent Brazil’s society, day-to-day life and customs. Angeli had a big editorial success with his monthly magazine “Chiclete com Banana”, which sold over 120 thousand copies per edition. In this time frame, the cartoonist creates some of his most famous characters: the bohemian diva Rê Bordosa, the hippie pair Wood & Stock, and the punk Bob Spit.
