Armando, a 50 year man, seeks young men in Caracas and pays them just for company. One day he meets Elder, a 17 years boy that is the leader of a criminal gang, and that meeting changes their lives forever. Lorenzo Vigas’ mesmerizing feature debut examines the struggles of a man petrified by the notion of human contact and intimacy. Armando, aged 50, (played by Pablo Larraín favourite Alfredo Castro in one of his most striking performances yet), cruises young men in the streets of Caracas and pays them to come back to his house. He also regularly spies on an older man with whom he seems to have ties from the past. One day he meets 17-year-old Elder, leader of a small band of thugs. Their turbulent relationship will come to mimic the violent, passionate, oppressive unpredictability of the city around them. Winner of the Golden Lion for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival in 2015.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity A scene showing simulated sexual activity is depicted in the film, but is not excessive. The film contains a sexual scene between an older man and his younger male partner where the sexual act is presented in a discreet manner, with focus on the main character's facial expression. Aside from this, there is a sexual scene between a young man and his girlfriend, where the sexual position and thrusting motions are clearly depicted. There is also a scene strongly implying masturbation, where a man instructs a younger man to strip, then masturbate to the latter's naked image.
