Synopsis

Ciro is a young, black, gay medical student. He is approaching the end of the school semester, ending a relationship, the payment of his scholarship is late, and he is having a hard time paying rent for the room where he teaches pole dancing classes to black university students. Things get even worse when Ciro is kicked out of his godmother's house, where he lives without paying rent. Desperate, he finds an improbable shelter in Antônio's apartment, a DJ who lives in the building next door. Gradually, the relationship between the two intensifies: in addition to offering shelter, Antônio also supports Ciro when conflicts arise in his pole dancing group. When they are together, any place can become a dance floor.
