Ep 3. ONLINE SEX

Times are tough for Claudia (Martha Nowill) and Chico (Luiz Braga). During the pandemic, she's pregnant and just got fired from her freelance job during a virtual meeting. Her husband, "Brazil's most unrenowned composer", is unable to make a living playing in bars and parties. Now everything must be meticulously organized in spreadsheets, including all the household chores. Rent, credit card, supermarket, baby clothes, the damn installemnts of that Carnival in Bariloche ... It's time to cut expenses, but which ones? There are plenty of crazy ideas to raise some money on the internet, but it's not as simple as successful Youtubers make it seem. That's when Claudia comes up with a bright idea that shocks her husband: she could become a webgirl and have virtual sex with clients on the computer. Against Chico's initial protests, she rants a brave feminist speech and turns the tables. She's guided by Grace Fonda (Paula Burlamaqui), an experienced professional in the business, and that's how the virtual porn star Holly Claude comes to life. Pregnancy fetishism in porn sites can ensure that the couple stays out of debt. Holly Claude's multiple clients and performances reveal various costumes, poses, dialogues and results. Sharing this unusual home office with her husband creates unexpected and hilarious situations. The problem then becomes how to reconcile so much action in front of the webcam with married life after a long "workday". Claudia and Chico are the living example of the saying "when poverty comes knocking at the door, love flies out the window". Jealousy, male chauvinism, pragmatism and mutual understanding are at stake in this episode. The quarantine only aggravates the situation that already existed in the old normal. Except that, in the current circumstances, Holly Claude can be the provider that neither Claudia nor Chico could be.
