BATE CABELO! unveils the story of an artistic creation that became a living symbol of memory, embodiment, and resistance.
When Pantera stepped onto the stage of São Paulo’s iconic nightclub Nostro Mondo in 1990 and unveiled a dance move of her own creation, a whirlwind of body and head that sent her long hair into a mesmerizing vortex, she had no idea she was forging a symbol that would become central to drag culture in Brazil. Through intimate interviews and archival footage, the film traces its rise from a bold Brazilian expression to a global phenomenon.

Entre imagens de arquivo e depoimentos reveladores, o documentário mergulha na origem de um movimento que atravessou noites, décadas e fronteiras, tornando-se expressão de identidade e resistência.
