An actor and a politician struggle to keep their secret affair hidden, in this bold and playful erotic thriller, that dissolves the boundaries between reality and performance to embrace voyeurism and spectacle.
Matias is a confident, openly gay theatre actor in a heated rivalry with his straight co-star Fabio, as both vie for a lead in a major TV show. Matias starts seeing discreet thirtysomething Rafael, and their animalistic chemistry reveals a shared love for exhibitionism. When Matias discovers Rafael is launching a campaign for mayor, and TV producers warn him that being out could limit his career, both are under pressure to keep their burgeoning relationship a secret. But by the cover of night they can’t help engaging in increasingly more risky behaviour, as they surrender to a world of desire and danger.
Taking inspiration from Brian De Palma, Alfred Hitchcock and Paul Verhoeven, filmmakers Marcio Reolon and Filipe Matzembacher (Hard Paint, MGFF19) have created an audacious, seductive and unapologetically queer thriller about the pressure to hide your sexuality. In the world of politics and fame, authenticity has a price.
