Physical attraction, love of risk taking, exhibitionism and seduction: Matias, a young actor longing for fame, meets Rafael, a closeted gay politician, a candidate for mayor. The closer the two get to the longed for fame, the more reckless they become. A perfect traditional erotic thriller, with an 80’s atmosphere, Almodóvar-inspired style, and unashamed voyeurism, it explores the dynamics of pleasure and control. In a mixture of suspense, erotism and social analysis, the movie, like its main characters, is not afraid of exposing and risk it all for a moment of pure freedom.
