Cabaré Filmes presents

Première Brazil Rio de Janeiro Int`l Film Festival

So? Everything OK?

OK

Shall we start?

Yes.

During the last rehearsals pay attention to the tempo.

Remember what we said?

Careful with the tempo, the breathing.

Have I been losing it?

Yes. Be careful with breathing, prosody, phrasing.

Shall we? OK? Can you do that?

Yeah, sure.

Dress rehearsal is tomorrow, OK?

Yes.

So, let’s go.

Stop, stop!

Eros, dress rehearsal is tomorrow. You’re not ready.

Good afternoon.

Hi.

Do you have burlap bags?

Yes.

What`s up?

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.

I’m a bit clumsy.

Did I break anything?

If you did, you’ll pay for it.

OK, let me know.

OK.

Hi.

You’re gonna have tea?

Just start putting things in order.

No, I didn’t go to rehearsal today.

No, I’m fed up with everything,

music, rehearsals, conductors, opera, theater, everything.

You know, since he came back from Japan

Yes, yes. I can deliver it.

Tomorrow afternoon. Yeah. OK.

That`s right.

Stop, stop, stop.

Eros, what’s going on?

What? I’m sorry...

You were late, you’re not concentrating,

you can’t reach the notes.

Well? Can we start again?

Yes, please. Can we? I’m sorry. Can we do it again?

Well, let’s go then.

Yeah my friend.

I wanna change my life, you know? Change everything.

But it’s hard. Goodness, it’s really hard.

Anyway, let’s get together this weekend?

OK.

OK.

Call me then.

OK. Bye.

So, how is everything?

I’m adjusting.

Hectic this city, isn’t it?

Would you rather have returned to our town?

Sometimes I think I would,

but you’d moved here and I’d left everyone in Japan and

I chose to stay here with you.

I like it here.

I wouldn’t want to live there.

Small towns are nice for a little while.

When I used to visit my mom, I’d reach my limit quickly.

I could stay for two days tops.

You never returned after she died?

Have you talked to your father lately?

He doesn’t want to talk to me.

Don’t you miss it there?

No. You?

Copa 181, good afternoon.

Copa 181, good afternoon.

Yes?

Good afternoon.

We open every day.

What is your name?

Paulo.

Good afternoon.

- Hey, how is it going? - Good.

- Enjoy your stay. - Thank you.

Hey, Nando. How are you doing?

Great.

Good day for you.

- Be right back - OK.

Hey, babe. How’s my favorite hottie doing?

You’re so smooth, huh?!

New girlfriend?

Are you messing with me?

What’s the problem, man?

You know I’m married.

Hmmm... sure.

Newcomer?

Just arrived.

That’s what I asked. First time?

It’s... the second.

Nice to meet you. Leo. Nice to meet you.

Hi, Johny.

Hi, how are you?

Very busy today?

-Very. -And what will be the name today?

Just Taná. Oh, put an H in the end just for a change.

The hottie hot’s arrived?

So gay... soooo gay.

Hello, number 41.

Thank you.

Hi my love

Tell me one thing

You brought my money?

Only that?

I`ll give you more then

Hot girl!

You should quit being stupid and stop giving money to this hustler.

You’ll see what’ll happen if anyone at the sauna

finds out you’re having an affair with Leo.

Shit will hit the fan.

Yeah, I know. It’s fucked up.

It’s hard to let go of a good dick.

It’s not just that. I feel good when I’m with him.

You deserve a real man, who pays your bills and not the other way around.

You’ll end up old and broke.

It’s not that bad.

Yes, it is.

You know what?

I’m going to the bathroom.

Wow, that’s fast!

You’re right about Leo.

I wanna know about that show tomorrow.

You’ll be brilliant. You’ll knock them dead.

Everything’s ready.

I’m nervous, it’s like a have a million butterflies

in my stomach, and goosebumps all over.

I’m nervous, too.

But it will be beautiful, sweetheart.

It will.

Leo told me I shouldn’t be jealous of him.

Well, he’s definitely right about that.

I think it’s kind of disgusting that he has sex

with those faggots at the sauna.

But he already did that before you guys met.

OK, so now you’re defending him?

Me? Defend this self-seeking hustler?

I really want to kick him out of there.

But you know life is not easy, right?

I’ve gone through a lot of shit to become a transvestite,

I got beaten up in the street,

I was kicked out of my home, but I didn’t become a prostitute.

That’s not common. But Leo is no good.

He’ll take everything from you, and make you suffer.

He has a wife, he has kids. Get rid of this evil spirit.

You know what? I think you’re right!

- Let’s drink! - Let’s get hammered!

Yeah. Let’s end up in the gutter.

Let’s go on a binge, get covered in shit in a ditch.

Waiter, another beer!

What are you doing out here?

Looking at the moon.

You’re high again.

I thought I was gonna get a kiss.

Hey, you have to respect me!

Don’t turn your back on me.

C’mon, give me my money.

Go to hell, Leo.

Don’t you tell to go to hell, you fucking bitch.

Stick your hand into your fucking bag and give me my money.

I`m ordering!

OK.

Give me!

Come now!

Now come here! Come here!

What are you gonna do with that?

Come!

You almost hit my face, you crazy bitch.

You’re a whore. You’re worthless.

Bitch!

You’ll end up alone, you fucking whore.

That’s all I needed.

Is there something you wanna say?

Is there something you wanna say?

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Tonight we have a mystery guest.

She, who makes everything glitter,

She...

Yes...

who knows it all and sees all that

goes on here, our star, our muse,

our special beauty, Kika!

Happy birthday, Taná!

If a person notices me in the street

And gives me a weird look of one who is bothered

By my presence

I prefer to think that it is only human

A strange way to behave

Spontaneity surprises some people

If a person notices me in the street

And gives me a weird look of one who is bothered

By my presence

I prefer to think that it is only human

A strange way to behave

Spontaneity surprises some people

But know this, my lady, my lord, I’ve become this

‘Cause I enjoy the freedom to live for myself

For you, just later on

And if my ways bother you

I say and repeat all the time

I love being this person that you detest

So stop poking your nose in my life

I’m not angry

I’m not guilty

I’m not in a hurry, either

No hurry at all

Stop poking your nose in my life

My soul is pure

I couldn’t care less

If I’m controversial.

Kika! Kika! Kika!

You were gorgeous.

Thank you.

Why are you avoiding me?

Me, avoiding you, Leo?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

What happened?

Our love has no future. Laughter and tears.

What?

Look, I’m crazy about you. I mean, I’m in love with you.

I’m sorry.

I’ve been through a lot in my life, you know?

I’m sorry, I got...

I love you. Don’t you believe me?

You think I’m not capable of loving you?

Leo.

Hey, look at me.

I’ve got beaten at home,

I’ve got beaten at school,

I’ve got beaten in the street.

But getting beaten by men is once in a lifetime, honey. Got it?

Is everything all right?

Yes, it is.

I’m not talking to you, you fucking little hustler.

And if you hurt my friend in any way, you’ll never set foot here again.

There’s need to be so harsh.

Yes, there is.

Get lost, go.

Go ahead.

I wanna say something.

Come on!

I want to say something

Say it!

I’m not drunk, I’m not drunk.

I’m happy.

I’m really happy.

Yeah, Taná.

Happy birthday to you...

And nothing for Taná?

Everything.

So, how does it go?

A dick, a dick, a dick, a dick, a dick A cock, a cock, a cock, a cock

Taná, Taná, Taná!!!

Make a wish.

One, two, three, four.

Hi.

Hi.

Give me this, I need this card.

What’s this?

I see.

Hey, Leo, what’s up? And your client, is he coming today?

It seems so. He said he’d come after work.

He’s fallen in love, huh?

All I want is a regular client to pay my bills, man.

How about you? Things are getting better?

Yeah. I’ve changed my strategy.

You’re doing bottom, man?

You’re too fussy, just doing top. Wanna make money? Do it all, man.

Are you crazy, man?

Just don’t tell the other boys.

Are you crazy, man, I’m not gay.

I’m a family man, a father, have some respect.

You think only people who do bottom are gay?

Fuck you!

Fuck you, man! Go take up your ass and leave me alone.

Oh, go ahead and leave, go on macho man, up yours.

So?

What’s up, girl?

Done?

Almost.

You know what I’m talking about.

Leo called me yesterday.

And you answered?

We just talked for a little while.

Hmm... I know.

You’ll go out, have a couple of drinks, get beaten up all over again.

No way. A man only beats me up once.

Way to go.

You nailed it at the show, huh?

You liked it?

Your new song is beautiful.

You’re gonna score big time.

You’ll see, girl, I’m not gonna be cleaning this sauna much longer.

I’ll become a nightclub star.

I wanna drink today.

What?

Vodka.

Well, well, well, you’re on fire, huh?

Sex on the beach.

Let me finish here and we can meet later, OK?

I’ll call you when I get home.

Do call, I don’t want to see you sad anymore.

Way to go, girl. Bye.

How are you?

Hi.

How are you?

I’m fine.

May I sit down?

You should.

So, let’s play?

It depends on the game.

Top, 200.00 Reais.

And bottom?

I don’t do bottom. You can talk to another boy, see if he does it.

It depends on the offer.

Oh, yeah?

Come with me and I’ll warm you up and then

you can go with another boy if you want to.

I might believe you.

You won’t regret it.

And where are we gonna play?

In a booth.

The booth, too?

What?

The 200.00 include the booth?

No. The booth is 30.00 Reais.

Fuck, man, you’re pushing up the prices, huh?

You came here to have fun. Relax.

You look like an engineer.

I think I’m gonna split, bro.

It’s fucking slow here today.

What are you gonna do later?

I think I’ll go to the gym.

I think I’ll go, too.

- Hi. - How are you?

Fine.

What’s your name?

Cláudio.

Davi.

I have a friend called Cláudio, you know?

A very good friend of mine here in Rio.

What time did you get here?

It’s been a while. You?

It’s been a long time.

I hadn’t seen you before.

Oh, you hadn’t?

So, let’s play?

Who knows.

Have some yummy sex.

I can make a special price for you today.

I wanna go home, we’re not very busy today.

How much?

80.00 Reais, sounds good?

OK, but I want something else.

Yeah? What do you want? We do everything.

Yeah?

Just don’t tell anybody, don’t tell the other boys, OK?

OK.

I’ll do it just for you, this is a very special price.

I’m going.

Hold on a second, I’m coming, man.

Let’s go, Davi. My wife’s waiting for me.

Just a minute, I’ll get my things.

Here.

Thank you, sweetheart.

You can keep the change.

Thank you. Do you have my number?

No.

Take it down: 9392-6737.

Call me whenever you need me, OK?

Will do. Bye.

Leo, here’s your money.

Take a look.

Your daughter?

Yeah.

Made a lot of money today, huh?

That’s not for you. I’ll wait for you outside, OK?

Wait for me.

Good morning.

Hi.

Today will arrive merchandise, ok?

Things are looking good, huh?

Hmm.

Campai (tears)

You remember?

I’ve missed you, you know?

I remember the first time we met.

I came here and you were over there in the corner.

Striking a pose.

Still are, huh?

For you.

May I?

Sure.

Hey, Leo?

Hey, Davi?

Let’s play a yummy game?

Who?

The three of us.

You wanna a beer? Get a glass.

Can I get a glass?

Let’s stay together just you and me.

Not now, OK? We can play later.

Hey. What’s up, Davi?

I want a booth, please.

For who?

Taná.

Tanah with an H in the end. And do you want a condom? Gel?

Put that candy on the tab, too.

Ok.

Gel, condom... hummm

How are you, Kika?

What’s up?

I’ve brought you a candy.

Hmmm... nice.

You can get it later.

Hi.

What I really like is to sing other stuff, you know?

I stood fast in singing opera for so long.

Well, I also wanted to live by myself, I married early.

When you put a photo, write what?

When you post this, what will you call me? A friend?

I’ll call you my boss.

Your boss.

Yeah.

I’m your boss?

Hello.

Hi, how’s everything?

Fine. I haven’t been around much, huh?

I’ve been working. I got a few gigs, been singing a lot.

It’s good.

You can go, Augusto. Go rest. See you tomorrow.

See you.

Hello, hello, so, who’s gonna want it today? Who wants to play?

Me, me!

Three? You’re very hungry.

Here are the beans. Go!

Way to go, baby.

You want something.

Everybody on the beans, OK?

Beans make you strong. Aren’t you gonna have something to drink?

How many cards do you want? Three, yes?

Three for you, too!

A competition, huh?

Well?

I want a low number.

He wants a low number.

47.

Let’s go, bring on the luck.

And the number is 13.

Well? Nothing there, folks?

I don’t have the whole night, OK?

73.

His age!

Fuck you.

Look, 70.

No one here is 70, for the love of God.

Some laid-back folks here, huh?

I can feel the luck.

Attention, attention, please.

A low number.

87. That’s definitely not low.

Let’s lower the level. Bring on the luck.

77.

I got it!

Already?

Congratulations, sweetheart!

You didn’t even wait for number 24, the gay number.

Do not ruin my makeup, sweetheart.

Attention. Silence.

Pick your boy.

You’re fulfilling my dream, honey.

Pick your boy for free.

What?

Are you nervous?

No, I don’t eat for dinner what I have for lunch.

Funny, huh? C’mon.

Nandinho.

Use -inho and he’s yours.

Congratulations!

Nandinho... Nandinho... Nandinho...

That’s cheating.

May I get your attention, dear friends?

The great moment has arrived.

It’s time for music, music to warm your hearts.

Let’s end this evening with a flourish.

Our diva.

Kika!

It’s not Kika, I’ve fooled you, silly boys.

The moment is divine, glamorous.

It’s Kika’s friend. Kika is on the road, singing.

OK!

The muse, the diva, in the name of love.

Eros!

Please arrive early

And open the door slowly

Slowly, slowly

Sing a slow song

Slow, slow, slow, slow

Or turn the radio low

Low, low, low, low

Next to me quietly lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie

And squeeze me tight

Tight, tight, tight, tight

And make me high, high, high, high...

And then I promise you

Yes I do

To make you

Loose, loose, loose

Are you happy?

Sometimes.

What’s it like at the sauna?

I think that’s where I’m happiest.

It’s my stage.

But isn’t happiness something that is supposed to be inside us?

No matter where we are?

How about you, are you happy?

I’m trying.

I think I’ll manage.

You know I love you, right?

Me too. I love you in my own way.

Do you think we can keep on loving each other?

For my grandmother Fausta,

That taught me to respect the whores,

the crazy people and the simple things of the earth.
