Synopsis

Crime queen and drug dealer, Diaba finds out that the police are after his protégé and decides to "make up" a new bandit to turn in in his place.
Moviegoers are saying
A Rainha Diaba emerges as a transgressive Brazilian queer crime masterpiece that shocked audiences during the military dictatorship era with its unapologetically camp aesthetic and violent excess. Milton Gonçalves delivers an iconic performance as the titular drag queen crime boss, creating what reviewers call a 'Brazilian Pulp Fiction' that blends Shakespearean power struggles with blaxsploitation, carnival aesthetics, and sadistic joy.
