Erotic - Completed 2022

In transgressive queer auteur João Pedro Rodrigues’s deliriously outré “musical fantasia,” a young prince shocks his riotously wealthy royal family by becoming a volunteer fireman—both to battle climate change and, it seems, to douse his own dormant desires amidst a bevy of beefcake firefighters.
