When an old friend brings filmmaker Enrique Goded a semi-autobiographical script chronicling their adolescence, Enrique is forced to relive his youth spent at a Catholic boarding school. Weaving through past and present, the script follows a transvestite performer who reconnects with a grade school sweetheart. Spurred on by this chance encounter, the character reflects on her childhood sexual victimization and the trauma of closeting her sexual orientation.
Good for late nights, talking about after and watching alone. Contains sexual content, nudity, drug use, sexual violence and a child in peril.
Close in feeling, tone and story.
A different format. A familiar feeling.
