Discomposure is an experimental movie made of moving images of women, while they worked and were filmed under an aesthetic of fracture. Her bodies were positioned by the white middle classes men's eyes as if they were parts that served like props, support, and of spectators of lives which depended on these women. The movie disorganized this visual aesthetic. It did to see that, between who was filming and those entered, marginally, the scene, there was the black female look that stared at the camera, as an affront, so showing affirmation, contestation, and constraint.

The Mangrove Zone of Rio de Janeiro was a well-known area of prostitution that faced several persecutions throughout the 20th century. Between 1954 and 1974, the Mangue Republic was established in the region, a representative regime, which under medical control and police surveillance, women decided who should take over the administration of the houses of prostitution. Based on surviving images, the film proposes another look at this memory of dispute and resistance.
