Ato noturno
Matias, an ambitious 23-year-old actor, is rehearsing a play with a prestigious theatre company. He and his flatmate Fabio, also 23, are playing the main roles. The two catch the eye of casting agent Pamela who is looking for actors for a major series production to be filmed in the city. However, only Fabio is invited to the audition because, despite his talent, Matias’ off-screen behaviour is not well received. Devastated, Matias takes solace in meeting 35-year-old Rafael, a mysterious man who refuses to reveal much about himself. Together, they discover a fetish for having sex in public places. Matias soon finds out that Rafael is a closeted politician who is running for mayor. After great efforts, Matias finally wins the starring role in the series and Rafael gains a lead in the polls. But the closer they both get to their longed-for fame, the more reckless they become. The lovers arouse jealousy in Fabio and concerns among Rafael’s campaign sponsors and end up in a dangerous game of success, pleasure and death.
