Drama. Comedy Augusto is an artist looking for his place under the spotlight, following the footsteps of his mother, a stage artist in the 50's. Restless in his search for applause, he finds a chance to conquer the crowds when he becomes "BINGO", a TV host clown from one of the audience leader's TV shows for children in the 80's. With makeup on, Augusto becomes an absolute success. But a clause on his contract forbids him to reveal his identity; an anonymous celebrity. [+]
