He leads a small group of dancers regularly performing at a bar located in the outskirts of the city every Saturday. Beneath Ra&uacute;l's exterior of seeming indifference to anything except meticulous recreation of Tony Manero's dance moves and the chance to compete in a nationally televised Tony Manero impersonating contest, lies a darker side of his personality driven to commit a bizarre series of violent crimes. Meanwhile, his dancing partners, who are involved in underground activities against the regime, are persecuted by the government's secret police. TONY MANERO is a story about the loss of identity and obsession in recent Chilean history.</p> <p><br /><strong>Kid Policy:</strong>&nbsp;18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian.
