PRISON BEAUTY CONTEST

Pirajui is a small city with only 25 000 people and three prisons with 1500 prisoners in each prison. Graziella Fernanda Costa (45), the director of Pirajui prison, decides to bring back self-esteem to female convicts with organizing a prison beauty contest. The Beauty Contest will give back the female inmates goals, pride and steps towards improving their self-esteem. The beauty contest could be seen as some sort of revolt against the prison uniform. The movie follows three characters Joyce competing for Miss Spring, Angel competing for Mister (transgender category) and Sueli competing for Miss Plus Size.
