Em fim chegou ao final a vida de Malva , uma referência a mim, que como uma cidadã Travesti tenho a história dela, algo que gostaria que fosse semelhante na minha trajetória de vida também, ter o direito de viver por muitos anos, e morrer por idade e não em consequência da falta de direitos que a população de Travestis e Transexuais sofrem no Brasil e em muitas partes do mundo, principalmente nos países da America Latina.
