No one can live without love.

Drama

Sergio is a brooding, alienated man who works as a trash collector in Lisbon by day and roams the city streets by night seeking rough, anonymous sex with men. One night he meets a man who seems to be the embodiment of his tormented fantasies, and he becomes obsessed with the stranger until loneliness and unfulfilled desire propel him finally into a dark and dangerous animalistic state.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching plunge into urban isolation and tormented desire. This film feels like a fever dream, exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche with a stark, unvarnished intensity that lingers long after the credits roll.
