Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Paulo seems to lose himself in the life of others: at the age of 30, he is still closely attached to his protective mother and silent father; to his cold and domineering boyfriend Luis; to the lives of unknown men; to his female roles at the cabaret; and to the songs of Shirley Bassey.
