Mala Noche
“If you fu*k with the bull, you get the horn!”
Drama
Walt is a lonely convenience store clerk who has fallen in love with a Mexican migrant worker named Johnny. Though Walt has little in common with the object of his affections — including a shared language — his desire to possess Johnny prompts a sexual awakening that results in taboo trysts and a tangled love triangle.
VIBE
A quiet, observational study of longing and isolation. It feels intimate and unvarnished, capturing the awkwardness of unspoken desires and the profound loneliness of being an outsider. A film that lingers long after the credits roll.
