Pornomelancolía
Film, 2022, 98 min
Argentina / Brazil / France / Mexico
Lalo is a sex-influencer: he posts nude photos and homemade porn videos for his thousands of followers on social networks.
Lalo runs his own life, but intimately, out of character, he seems to live in a permanent melancholy.
Where does desire itself go when life becomes a sex show?
Pornomelancolía takes pornography as a starting point to reflect on the relationship between sexuality and work, on being public and feeling alone, on the characters we build of ourselves to show (or hide) from the world.
