Synopsis
On his deathbed, his royal highness Alfredo, a king without a crown, is taken back to distant, youthful memories and the time he dreamt of becoming a fireman. An encounter with instructor Afonso from the fire brigade opens a new chapter in the life of the two young men, devoted to love and desire…
Our take
In this unclassifiable musical fairytale, the porn-like meeting of a prince and a firefighter is also a metaphor for postcolonial relations—and all the sexier for it. Profoundly romantic as well as mischievously erotic, this queer, colorful blend of diverse genres and tones is held together by love.
