(2023, USA, Italy, UK, Mexico, 100')
Wayward Alejandro ran from home, fled Mexico, and arrived in New York. Here, he falls in love with Jack, a young man aged merely 20 who worked in a pet shop. Alejandro takes Jack on a journey into the New York underground scene. In a large, stimulating city, the two live their love in totalizing experiences, fighting all forces that seem to counter their full, totalizing sense of freedom.
