The original plan was to shoot a feature film. A ghost story in which the dead coexist with the living and have sexual encounters with one another. A montage of castings, ghostly encounters, and extravagant party scenes. Toxic substances, excess, and the latent presence of death prevail. A hearse drives through the streets with the director’s living corpse inside. In this debut as a film director, Theo Montoya concocts a coming-of-age story in Medellín – a city that resembles a cemetery. A city without fathers, a conservative, violent city. Experiences of queer subcultures, fictions, and memories of a queer generation that finds no place in Medellín’s oppressive majority society. The result is a merciless manifesto of both hopelessness and rebellion.
