SYNOPSIS

A teenage boy goes looking for his new friend on the hot streets of an eerie city. As the blue night rises, a visceral journey begins. Nature around him becomes exotic and the exotic becomes alluring. At an age where things are confusing and many thoughts can not be expressed, the boy is searching for an identity, both emotionally and sexually. In the illuminating dawn he discovers he is not like the rest.

INTENTION

A couple of springs ago, while jogging at dawn, I saw two boys strolling in silence while sharing earphones. I remember the tenderness between them and I guess it all started from that image I saw so briefly. This film is an exploration of the effect that image had on my normative perception. I realised I was already carrying a transparent experience of teenagehood that was no longer accurate.  As I came to work with the young actors, I discovered a brave fluidity regarding the perception of their own sexuality. They were troubled by a sense of discovery and a continuous questioning of the inherited norms that were not their own. I witnessed a delicacy and a certain type of eroticism that was non-gender and non-binary. They had a way of looking at the world from a position of rightfully belonging. Sometimes however the feelings were lost in favour of the rationale. And this made it even more interesting.

I slowly started imagining an intimate moment in the life of a teenager as he tries to make sense of his erotic relation to the world. At an age when many things can not be said, Dani is governed by a raw and queer sensitiveness and a predisposition for a confused type of suffering.
