Overview

• The film took Orizzonti’s top prize at Venice’s closing ceremony a day after securing the 2025 Queer Lion for LGBTQ+ storytelling.
• Set along perilous freight routes, the story traces a bond between two men inside a hypermasculine trucking culture without revealing plot turns.
• Production shot largely in Ciudad Juárez with police or National Guard protection and used an intimacy coordinator to stage explicit scenes responsibly.
• Leads Víctor Prieto Simental and Osvaldo Sánchez Valenzuela anchor the cast; Sánchez earned a truck license, drove long hauls, and slept in cabs to prepare.
• Produced by Inna Payán’s Animal de Luz with support that includes Diego Luna, the film continues its festival run with a stop at the Morelia International Film Festival.
