The Passion According to G.H.B.

Matias invites Grindr hookups to an apartment-sit in rainy São Paulo, connecting over kinks, chemsex, HIV status and classic literature. This post-pandemic magical realist gay bedroom odyssey, including unsimulated sex, is told in largely vérité-style with unvarnished honesty and compassion. A film told in three parts - an orgy, an imagined visit to Matias from Clarice Lispector (author of The Passion According to G.H.), and a final interview with Jesse, whose lived experience offers an emotional, critical reflection on the same film the audience has just watched. The result is an uncompromising but ultimately hopeful reflection on how desire, escape, and survival coexist in a world still profoundly hostile to queer existence.
