SYNOPSIS

Raoni is a man who is tormented by the death of his wife. Because of this, he becomes an alcoholic and sinks into debt, living under the threat of eviction. One day he meets a mysterious flower seller, who sells him a black tulip. The flower has mystical powers that transform a store mannequin into a seductive woman. One night, while drunk after consuming several cans of beer, Raoni is woken up by the sound of an insistent doorbell. He is initially hesitant to answer, thinking it is a collector, but the doorbell continues to ring, until Raoni decides to open it and face the problem. To his surprise, the visitor was the store's mannequin in human form. The two kiss and hours later, the woman walks out the door, kissing him goodbye. In the morning, the collector invades Raoni's apartment, after knocking on the door several times. Raoni had disappeared and in his place was a male mannequin with a black tulip on his chest. Months pass until a young woman named Magnólia rents the same apartment that had belonged to Raoni. She also meets the flower seller, buys a black tulip and just like Raoni, ends up finding the store with the mannequins. Magnolia smells the flower and is amazed to see a male mannequin take the form of Raoni. On the other side of the square, the flower seller, seeing the scene, comments: The actors change, but the script remains the same!
