Synopsis

Tonia is a large-than-life drag icon of Lisbon’s night life in the late 1980s. At the peak of her career, she meets and falls in love with Rosario, a young soldier who’s gone AWOL. Torn between her love for Rosario and her deeply-rooted religious convictions, Tonia looks for a distraction in a trip to the countryside with Rosario. They find themselves in an enchanted forest where everything they think they know about life and love is proven wrong. Part melodrama, part phantasmagorical fairy tale, To Die Like A Man is visual extravaganza.
