They call Corpornô (from "hardcore" and "porn") the Cia Dita atomic bomb, supersonic, crossing the sky with a ray of light in the deluded world of Puritans. Corpornô is a fine line between erotica and pornography. Heroes dive into the depths of the human being, incredibly representing what is animal, social, human, and inhumane in each of us.
