PELE
synopsis
23 year-old Olga has a brilliant future in front of her. Beautiful, intelligent and heir of a big fortune, Olga has everything she needs to be happy. However, she knows her skin isn't as white as her friends', she doesn't have European features and her body moves in a rather intense rhythm.

This confrontation with her past will make her a new woman.
