It will take you into a surreal world of passion and sexuality, further than most would dare to go.

Drama

A handsome Belgian sailor on shore leave in the port of Brest, who is also a drug-smuggler and murderer, embarks upon a voyage of highly charged and violent homosexual self-discovery that will change him forever from the man he once was.

VIBE

A fever dream of desire and danger. This film plunges into the dark heart of masculinity and forbidden longing, drenched in shadow and operatic intensity. It's a potent, unsettling exploration of the self.
