It’s Brazil 1978 and the military dictatorship in power since 1964 begins to falter. Clecio Wanderley leads a theater troupe that challenges power and conventional morality with theater plays and public interferences. The troupe is strongly supported by its homosexual audiences as well as intellectuals and other artists. Wanderley’s life changes when he meets Fininha, an 18 year-old boy from the country fulfilling his military service in the big city. This encounter will forever change each of their lives permanently like a tattoo on their souls.
