The story of Mimì, a volleyball player with the myth of Mimì Hayuara, inspired by the true-life story of Tifanny Pereira de Abreu, a transsexual Brazilian player. She was a man named Rodrigo. For many years she played in male volleyball teams and today plays in the A2 women’s division. She started this passage from male to female in 2013 and underwent operation in 2014. In our story, we’ll see her in the exact moment that her dreams come true.
