Dorian Gray, or Narcissus Through the Looking Glass

Dorian Gray is but a boy, yet he's worshipped as a God - by the closeted painter who immortalized his beauty, by the libertine who taught him all of the world's secret pleasures, and by himself. For the next one hundred years, Dorian Gray falls into a rabbit-hole of debauchery, remaining forever young while his portrait pays the price for each of his sins. But when crimes of decades past come back to haunt him, and the novelty of everlasting youth starts taking its toll, can his soul still be redeemed?

Falas de Orgulho

The journey of eight characters of different ages, regions, life trajectories and religions – and behind them, stories of overcoming difficulties, prejudice and self-acceptance, passing through themes transversal to the letters that form the acronym LGBTQIA+ – that culminate in the celebration of being able to be who you are and in the exaltation of these voices.

Tattoo

Paulete, the star of a daring theater group, is visited by his military brother-in-law, the young Fininha. A torrid relationship arises between the two, and now the soldier must deal with the prevailing repression during the Brazilian military dictatorship.

Rat Fever

Zizo, a radical and anarchist poet living in a marginal quarter of Recife in the north eastern state of Pernambuco, distributes his social angst-filled thoughts through a publication named Febre do Rato, and spews poetry to anyone who’d listen. Our character always revolves within the universe that he has created around himself. A very particular world, in which satisfying the unfortunate is a mixture of a kind of benefit with high dose of malice.

Não me Deixe em Casa

Lovers attempt to shut out the harsh realities of life.
