OUTSHINE AFTER DARK SCREENING
When Nino is deemed a bad influence on the other boys in his neighborhood and has to endure homophobic attacks, his parents move the family to the Argentinian countryside. Once away from the city, Nino wanders in a forest supposedly haunted by the Almamula, a monster that takes those who commit carnal sins and impure acts. It’s summer: the bodies sweat, the line between dream and reality becomes blurry, and a boy disappears. In a world surrounded by whispers, unspoken desires, and prayers, Nino’s curiosity and impulses surface. As an escape from a reality flooded with toxicity, repression, and imminent violence, the hidden and sensuous mysteries of the forest become increasingly attractive to Nino.
