When you can't live by the rules, break them. All of them.

A fast paced emotional thriller, A Troublemaker Never Cries grabs you from the first scene perched on the roof of a whorehouse, and makes your sides ache from laughter while washing your cheeks with tears.

Follow Traf and her friends, young lesbians in the early 1960s, as they strive to form the first all-woman social club of its kind, Troublemakers, on their island of Terceira. Together they fight sexist laws, brutal bullies, the US Air Force, and sometimes their own families. Their stories expose the raw underbelly of a fascinating five hundred year old Azorean culture, and you'll cheer the women on as they create a new one for their future.

Traf is the original troublemaker. She won't conform, wears men's clothing, and competes for their jobs. Trapped on a small rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and 20th century, she dreams of going to America, a place where women do as they like, make their own money, and live without the permission of men. Until then, she'll hide her life and love to rise through the ranks as a VIP driver for the American Air Force.

Disparaged as 'twisted tomboys', turned out of society, and bloodied by bullies, the Troublemakers live by breaking the rules of men and God. When one gets knocked down the others pick her up and fight beside her. They won't give in because everyone on their island knows A Troublemaker Never Cries.
