SYNOPSIS
Pinta is a feature film made up of episodes crossed by throbbing erotica, musical delusions and choreographic enigmas. The film traces direct connections with the city of Salvador (BA) – its landscapes, characters and sliding Sexualities – and revisits the artistic journey of 15 years of work by the Bahian group Dimenti. Pinta moves through performative situations with different durations and atmospheres: a woman prepares for suicide in her dressing room by placing a plastic plant on her head; a crooner sings in front of a huge empty swimming pool for a corps de ballet of aquatic dancers; two young men wearing cotton underwear engage in homemade wrestling; a skater choreographs his own downfall; a boy-merman talks about the concept of an enigma created especially for the film by the Italian anthropologist Massimo Canevacci, among other situations.
