Renzo Cozza’s dark comedy, which was presented at the prestigious New Directors/New Films series at MOMA this year, follows an unassuming queer vampire named Patricio, whose responsibilities are weighing on him. Beleaguered by life at home with his two demanding sisters, he’s looking for a change. To fulfill his family obligations, Patricio must lure men into sex. But all that time on the apps, not to mention the murder, is weighing on him, leaving him depressed and starved for authentic connection. When he goes on a date with an intriguing stranger, he discovers attraction and the allure of a completely different way of living. What follows is a tale of transformation that’s surprising and risqué—and not safe for work.
