It is dawn, but already over 100 apparently healthy women are waiting outside Santa Casa de Misericordia, one of the oldest benevolent hospitals in Brazil. In a city where one in two women over 50 has undergone cosmetic surgery, these women do not see why their low income should keep them from the scalpel. In Brazil, physical beauty and youth are all-important and the fact that only the richest can afford cosmetic surgery makes it all more alluring to the poor. These women are waiting for Professor Ivo Pitanguy’s plastic surgery consultation to open. The professor is a world famous high priest of cosmetic surgery. He heads one of the most famous and most expensive plastic surgery clinics in Rio de Janeiro, but he has also vowed to treat the poorest members of society. From March to June, the Professor’s staff, most of whom are volunteers, handle the request of 3,000 women. They come to this unique centre of cosmetic surgery – facelifts, liposuction, silicon implants and so on – at a very low price which just covers the cost of the equipment used during the operation. Over four months of waiting, appointments and shared dreams, Edna, Iolanda and Teresa meet there and tell each other their stories, without embarrassment, sometimes laughing at themselves. Will the promise of happiness really be kept at the end of the long wait ? docpedago©eurodoc2007 Rio de Janeiro, dés l’aube, elles sont déjà plus de cent devant la Santa Casa de Misericordia l’une des plus anciennes institutions soignantes caritatives du Brésil. Que veulent ces femmes, en apparente bonne santé ? De tous âges, de toutes générations, de toutes classes sociales. La file semble s’allonger à l’infini... Elles attendent l’ouverture du Service de Chirurgie Plastique du célèbre Professeur Ivo Pitanguy, célébré partout comme le « Bistouri d’or »... De mars à juin, l’équipe du professeur, composée essentiellement de bénévoles, accueille dans ce centre unique au monde, trois mille femmes qui viennent ici pour leurs interventions esthétiques. Liftings, liposucions, implants de silicone… sont à prix modique, simplement pour couvrir le coût du matériel opératoire ! Edna, Iolanda, Teresa, s’y rencontrent et s’y racontent avec humour et simplicité. Quatre mois d’attente, de rendez vous et de rêves partagés. La promesse du bonheur sera-t-elle tenue au bout de ce long parcours ? Cathie Lévy Cathie Lévy is a director. She has worked in Germany and France.
