Drama and danger are around every corner in this dazzling erotic thriller that follows ambitious Brazilian actor Matias on his love adventures.
The action kicks off on stage where the actor is performing a sinuous dance routine with a prestigious theatre company, along with his flatmate Fabio. The two are auditioning for leading roles in an upcoming TV series. But only Fabio is chosen to star, putting Matias in the shade.
DisappointED and dejected Matias cuts loose to enjoy an experimental sexual encounter with 35-year- old Rafael, an enigmatic stranger, back home in a large mansion, soon to be transformed into offices. Soon the two develop a fascination for enjoying rampant sex in public locations. But Rafael has a secret that will put his career at risk.
In this intriguing piece of filmmaking the Brazilian directors showcase how success and fame breeds confidence, and even recklessness in a cleverly scripted, flamboyantly staged and brilliantly performed three-hander world premiering at Berlinale 2025 @MeredithTaylor
