Inspired by the memoir “O Doce Veneno Do Escorpião” (The Scorpion’s Sweet Poison) by Raquel Pacheco, the film tells the story of a young girl who rebels against her upper-class family by moving out and becoming a call girl.
She was known to her clients as Bruna the Surfer Girl, a chic São Paolo prostitute who fled her middle-class home at the age of 17 to sell herself to up to five men a day. Then Bruna took to the internet, and her racy accounts of life as a high-class Brazilian call girl have earned her international fame.
Bruna detailed online her three years working as a prostitute. Her candid and explicit entries on life as a high-class call girl caught the attention of millions and set off a vigorous national debate about sexual identity, values, and practices. Six months after she gave up prostitution to turn her blog into a bestselling book, Bruna became an immediate celebrity, an improbable sex symbol, the Paris Hilton of Brazil. With the budget of $4 million, “Bruna Surfistinha” stormed theatres in Brazil, earning by the end of its run more than $12 million.
