Our take

A young sex-working drifter joins a hard-edged trucker across northern Mexico and their transactional bond turns intimate while past trouble closes in. High-impact nudity and sex scenes sit at the centre, with drug dealing, lust, violence and blood in a dark queer crime-romance. Adults only from 18. Not a teen watch.

Uplifting themes

Unexpected tenderness and care can grow even in a rough world Moments of loyalty appear, but most choices stay risky and adult

Story (may spoil tone)

Veneno, a rebellious young drifter, frequents roadside diners where he sleeps with truck drivers. Urgently needing a ride, he meets Muñeco, a hard-edged driver who keeps to himself. He convinces Muñeco to take him deep into the hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking across the north of Mexico. As they travel together and an unexpected intimacy builds between them, shadows from Veneno’s past resurface, putting both their lives at risk.
