SYNOPSIS
A groundbreaking dance and theater group who used their talent and a mix of humor and derision to challenge the violent dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 1970s. Creating a new stage language, this group revolutionized the gay movement despite being banned and censored by the military regime.The film reveals the origin of the group, their relentless perfectionism, Liza Minnelli becoming their godmother, it also gives a honest account of the sadness of their final years when tension, egos, AIDS, and even murder ripped them apart. Through it all, we see how this group never flinched from challenging conventional notions of acceptable “masculine” or “feminine” behavior.
