Matias, an Argentine filmmaker in his forties, is struggling to finish a movie inspired by his elusive first love, Alexander, a Swedish friend from their international school. Their close, tender friendship ends abruptly when Alexander is expelled, leaving Matias with unresolved emotions and an incomplete story. Twenty-five years later, Matias decides to reconnect with Alexander, reopening old wounds. As his real life starts to mirror his film, Matias is compelled to confront and question his own memories and feelings, challenging his perceptions of love and friendship. Duino is a new, fresh, and exciting take on the queer coming of age story.
