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. FermerActors

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.

L’action de ce film de fiction se passe presque entièrement à Montréal (avec de brèves scènes censées se dérouler à New York et Toronto). L'axe de l’intrigue est une discothèque, le Starlight, inspirée de la véritable discothèque le Lime Light. Ainsi, une partie du tournage s’est déroulée alentour de l’immeuble qui avait abrité le Lime Light sur la rue Stanley à Montréal (maintenant le club de danseuses nues Chez Parée et la discothèque La Boom).

The film centres on the life of Phil, a fun loving student in his final year at British secondary school. He is currently going steady with girlfriend Sharon, whose best friend Vera (an early role for Kathy Burke) just happens to have the hots for his best mate Matthew. However, Matthew is gay, and dropped out of school the previous year as a means of escaping the abuse of the classroom, only for the discovery of his collection of soft-core gay porn to cause him problems at home as well. Matthew is an ardent swimmer - an opportunity for the film to immediately use and confront an obvious stereotype.
