A Partner To Call My Own - Elderly women, hired dancers, and secret desires
Set in the vibrant yet discreet world of São Paulo’s taxi dancers—young men hired to dance with older, wealthy women—this documentary offers an intimate and unexpected look at aging, class, and female desire. After her father's death, filmmaker Kelly Cristina Spinelli witnesses her mother Eni seeking companionship through dance, igniting a personal and sociological investigation.
What begins as a story about a mother’s loneliness transforms into a broader reflection on what society allows women to feel and pursue in their later years. With elegance, humor, and empathy, the film challenges taboos around sexuality, aging, and transactional intimacy.
