DRUNKEN NOODLES

Art student Adnan spends two transformative summers—first in a sylvan retreat, then interning at a New York gallery featuring an older artist he once encountered. Through a series of intimate, often erotic encounters—with strangers, artists, and delivery couriers—he unearths cracks in his carefully curated reality. Lucio Castro’s Drunken Noodles reveals a sensual, contemplative coming-of-age: a kaleidoscope of desire, art, and self-discovery that defies linear storytelling. Balmy cityscapes and forest paths blend in reverse-chronological chapters, showcasing how fleeting human connection can catalyze identity and creative awakening.
