Carlão, a man with prejudiced views, works at a car dealership alongside Cadinho, Zeca, and Antunes. He frequently exaggerates his skills in soccer and mechanics, often making macho and homophobic jokes. When Evaristo becomes a target of these verbal attacks, he retaliates and imprisons him in a mysterious locker. This leads to the unexpected arrival of Carlinhos, a homosexual alter ego who takes control of Carlão’s body each night, leading to chaotic and humorous situations.
