Dämonen der Dämmerung

Two young men in Mexico City: Orlando earns his money in go-go bars, but actually wants to become a serious dancer. Marco is working hard to finish his nursing school. When the two meet by chance on the street, it's love at first sight. They fight together to realise their dreams. As they make their way through a constantly changing, latently aggressive world, they realise that only by joining forces can they defy all the demons of the twilight that haunt them in the darkness of the night.

In his new feature film, Julián Hernández, Mexico's most important queer filmmaker and two-time Teddy Award winner, tells the story of a passionate love that uncompromisingly defies all adversity. As in films such as THE HAPPINESS OF THIS EARTH (2014) and THE TRACK OF YOUR LIPS (2023), he relies on a highly sensual visual language, scantily clad leading actors and dance sequences full of tingling eroticism.
