Brazil, 1978. The military dictatorship that resulted from a coup in 1964 begins to stumble. In a cabaret-like theater located on the periphery between two cities in the northeast of Brazil, a group of artists challenges power and conventional morality with theater plays and public interferences. Led by Clécio Wanderley, the troupe Chão de Estrelas, strongly supported by its homosexual audience, along with intellectuals and other artists, practices political resistance through anarchy and mockery.

Notes
Tattoo is an interesting film of an aspect of the Brazilian resistance of the 70s and 80s, much in the flavor of Dzi Croquettes (see links) · There are many shots of the cabaret theatre performances, but the writing is weak especially in the area of character development · It is a bit of a shame Tattoo doesn’t reach a bit further, as if it had delved deeper into the characters, their problems and conflicts, it could have been great. I never developed much empathy for either Clécio (leader of the theatre troup) or Fininha (the young soldier) · With the exception of a pretty face, what drew them together so quickly and deeply?
