The plot of the story becomes an unhappy woman with her wedding and her woman condition in a patriarchal society where, after make an order to Oxum to born a man in the next incarnation, wakes up man and go to the street intent to proves all the possibilities regarding to her sexuality possible in her new condition. Thus, the character deconstructs the binarisms homo/heterosexual, man/woman, male/female, because, she is man, woman, gay, cross-dresser, the universe.
