    • Synopsis
    • Robertinho, a black artist, is the orixá of the Afro-Brazilian Lavagem de la Madeleine parade in Paris during the day. At night, he plays the Harlequins at Cabaré Paraíso Latino. How does this queer and androgynous Brazilian, son of a Candomblé saint, who has gathered almost 60,000 people in the French capital for more than 20 years, lead a ritual of washing the steps of Madeleine's church? Transition between masculine and feminine, sacred and profane, these worlds are about to intersect.
