Synopsis

À 14 ans, Serginho se doit d’être l’énergie vitale du foyer familial quitté par son père et délaissé par une mère déprimée. Alors qu’il n’a pas encore vécu son adolescence et dans un contexte socio-économique difficile, il doit, seul, assumer des responsabilités d’adulte. Le manque d’entourage affectif familial, entremêlé à l’impossibilité de vivre la quête de soi, crée en lui une confusion sur ce qu’il est. Sans comprendre ses propres désirs, il cherche à combler ses carences dans la figure de son professeur. Fermer

The film is set in Recife in the 70's, and follows the story of Clécio Wanderley, the leader of the theatrical troupe Chão de Estrelas, which performs concerts full of debauchery and nudity. One of the main stars of the team is Paulete, with whom Clécio maintains a friendship. One day, Paulete receives a visit from his brother-in-law, the young Fininha, which is in the army. Enchanted by the universe created by the Chão de Estrelas, he is soon seduced by Clécio. It won't take long for them to engage into a torrid relationship, which puts him in a dubious situation: while increasing the bounds with the troupe members, he needs to deal with the existing repression of the army during the dictatorship.
