Surreal, sexy, and unapologetically weird, Salomé is everything your queer mind has craved but never dared to ask for. André Antônio blurs reality, fantasy, and the supernatural in this fashion-soaked fever dream, reinventing Hollywood melodramas with queer and trans bodies at the centre. Cecília, a successful model, returns to Recife for Christmas and meets João, a long-lost neighbour, who pulls her into a hypnotic world of hallucinogenic green goo and a secret cult worshipping Salomé, the extravagant biblical princess. Starring Brazil’s leading trans actresses Aura do Nascimento and Renata Carvalho, Salomé is a decadent ritual of awakening, rebellion, and queer ecstasy.
