About This Movie

We’re dropped into this raw world of a violent gay hustler and his girlfriend, who find themselves pushed to the edge by a stalker. The performances are intense, capturing that chaotic energy of desperation and survival. Atmosphere feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, which adds to the tension. The pacing is uneven, reflecting the characters’ unstable lives.
