Tony Manero is a Chilean drama film that delves into the life of a man obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever. Set against the backdrop of Chile's brutal military dictatorship in the late 1970s, the film explores themes of identity, ambition, and the dark side of fandom. The protagonist, an aging and unemployed dancer, becomes increasingly consumed by his desire to emulate Travolta, leading to a series of morally questionable actions.
