As an unknown and deadly disease begins to spread, legend has it that it is transmitted between two men, through a simple glance, when they fall in love. While people are accusing her family, Lidia must find out whether this myth is real or not.

VIBE

This is a somber, dread-soaked slow-burn, exploring the tragic beauty of love and identity amidst epidemic fear and prejudice. A poignant period drama steeped in social realism, it offers a bold, melancholic gaze into chosen family and societal myths. It's a thought-provoking late-night solo watch that lingers with heavy emotional weight.
