Dados relates the difficulties of being a teenager, compounded with the challenge of being trans. With its comedic tone, the work shows us how most obstacles are not as a result of the sex change, but instead of being rejected by society. Dados received the 2019 Max Award for the Best Production for a Young or Family Audience.
X is a young man who works in a shop that sells comic books and board games. He loves recording podcasts on comics, which he usually does when he is alone in the shop or after it has closed. One evening, just before he closes up, a customer called Y enters, looking for a gift, but he would like to try it out before buying it. X and the customer begin playing a role-playing game that starts as an innocent and uncomfortable encounter, but soon uncovers a fundamental secret about both of them.
