Their path takes them from the diverse nightlife scene of Lapa in Rio to the movie studios of Los Angeles, where Graça, as “Brazilian Bombshell” Sofia Salvador, performs her unique brand of South American entertainment. The girls dream of becoming radio stars together, Graça’s mellifluous voice complementing Dores’ raspier tones. This was a time when LPs and phonographs seemed like magic, and the era is conjured up brilliantly.
They share an education (at Graça’s insistence) and adventures, and an excursion to a big-city concert kindles their musical interest and ambitions for greater achievements. Graça is strong-willed, selfish, and unmistakably charismatic. The two first meet as girls, when Graça and her parents move into the plantation’s Great House. Its focus is the close, volatile friendship between Dores, a kitchen maid born on the Riacho Doce sugar plantation in northeastern Brazil in 1920, and Graça Pimentel, the owner’s only child.
