"Every young Brazilian from the Nordeste, Maria only aspires to the Adventure, to the Great Love. During a week of holiday in Rio de Janeiro, on the beach of Copacabana, a Swiss offers her to become a cabaret dancer in Geneva. She sees there the beginning of a fairy tale ... But the reality will be very different. Maria comes to prostitute herself - without shame, since she teaches her soul not to complain about what her body does, and that she forbids herself to fall in love. After all, prostitution is a profession like another, with her rules, schedules and days of rest. But sex - like love - remains for her. To discover the sacred sense of sexuality, Maria will have to find the way to reconciliation with herself."-Presentation of the publisher.
