  • Raw, erotic thriller about a truck driver and a young drifter. Winner of the 'Queer Lion' at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.

    A raw and intense erotic thriller and a cinematic highlight.

     

    Veneno, a young restless drifter, often visits roadside diners where he sleeps with truck drivers. He desperately needs a ride and persuades Muñeco, a tough, taciturn driver, to take him along on the long-distance transport through northern Mexico, a raw and dangerous macho world. As they travel together and an unexpected intimacy develops between them, shadows from Veneno's past resurface, putting both of their lives in danger.
