The story

This film follows a man in his fifties who is obsessed with the character Tony Manero, portrayed by John Travolta in the movie Saturday Night Fever. He dedicates himself to imitating Manero's mannerisms and elaborate dance moves. Set in Santiago, Chile during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, filmmaker Pablo Larraín makes a deliberate effort to depict the decadence, violence, and darkness of the era.
