Takes place at the tail end of military dictatorship in Brazil, when a group of artists begin to challenge power and moral conventions. The Star-Spangled Floor are an anarchist theatre group with subversive cabaret shows practicing political resistance through anarchy and mockery. The group refer to themselves as the "Moulin Rouge of the outskirts, the Broadway of the poor, the Studio 54 of the slums."
