1984 In rural Catalão, Brazil, solitary farmer Antônio discovers a wounded motorcyclist named Marcelo after a roadside accident. Nursing him back to health amid sweeping crop fields and the São Marcos River, Antônio and Marcelo embark on a tender, transformative love affair. As their bond deepens, societal expectations and external forces encroach on their secluded idyll. Spanning decades—and perhaps even dimensions—Only Good Things weaves a subversive queer romance that destabilizes both men emotionally and spiritually. Daniel Nolasco’s sophomore narrative film fuses pastoral beauty with raw desire, exploring how love defies time, place, and convention.
