Neon Bull 2016

Iremar, portrayed by Juliano Cazarré, is a dedicated bull handler traveling with a group that transports bulls from one rodeo to another. His true aspiration is to become a tailor and design fashionable attire for women. To channel his creative energy, he crafts unique horse masks and bold outfits for Galega, played by Maeve Jinkings, the group’s driver who captivates audiences with her provocative dances after each rodeo performance. Accompanying them are Galega’s daughter, Cacá (Alyne Santana), and Zé (Carlos Pessoa), the bumbling bull wrangler often the target of the group’s humor.

The narrative primarily explores the dynamics among these characters, weaving together Iremar’s clothing design pursuits with exhilarating rodeo scenes. Following a failed attempt by Iremar and Zé to pilfer valuable horse semen from a stud auction, Zé secures a new position as a horse wrangler, leading to Junior’s arrival, a charming, albeit vain young man portrayed by Vinícius de Oliveira. Junior quickly bonds with Cacá and starts an intimate relationship with Galega.

Amidst the chaos of their lives, Iremar encounters Geise, a pregnant woman who sells cologne and perfume while working as a nighttime security guard in a large factory. After one rodeo, Geise surprises Iremar with a cologne gift. Intrigued, he visits her at the factory that night, where he marvels at the industrial sewing machines. Their connection intensifies as Geise seduces Iremar, leading to a passionate encounter between the two.
