I Can't Have Sex

Bel Gatti can’t have sex, so her therapist suggests she make a film about it, turning her supposed external trauma into a boomerang. We witness the daily narration of her life, with her babysitting job, visits to her mother and grandmother, her real and fictional kisses and her personal search. The landscape is also populated by dildos, drag performances and an actor possessed by Andy Warhol himself. Everything passes through filters, gifs, stickers, post-contemporary aesthetics and the closeness that the length of the director’s arm gives us for this intimate social network diary, a hyper-documentary that tries to interpret this hypersexualised society. And fun, a post-humorous fun. Would you dare to laugh?

Loneliness and despair take her on an unusual journey towards her resurrection where an interdimensional portal opens where chronological time unfolds in multiple dimensions. This country legend is known as the Wild Woman myth. Or it could be the fantastic game of two non-binary girls.

The World's After

Humanity no longer exists, only Fluor and Carlix, two ghosts in sportswear, remain. They wander among the remains of an extinct civilization, one in search of a Wi-Fi connection, the other in search of the head of a giant cetacean. A story of encounter and friendship, punctuated by an ultimate playlist : that of the end of the world.
