Film Synopsis
A porn star at the peak of his career falls in love with a colleague. She also seems to have a crush on him but the least expected happens: no matter how much they want and try, they cannot make love to each other.
Surprisingly enough, this failure is the smaller problem in Gino’s life. The same happens in the shooting session: he’s unable to do what he is being paid for.
Forced to face his limits, masks and fears, the porn star sinks into pain and humiliation.
The crossroad to which the scenario leads is not one of predictable variants of this world, it is the intersection between physical reality and the equally concrete reality unseen with ordinary eyes.
It is a confrontation between the brutal sexuality, the rudimentary expression of a culture greedy for pleasure and the mystical, sacred eroticism of Tantra.
The meeting of the two worlds and its effect on our adult movie star is masterfully described by the movie, however, what is worth knowing in advance is that Aghora Vidya’s film aspires to an essence neglected by contemporary art – the sublime, the elevated thrill of the soul, the intense, enlightening aesthetic emotion that awakens the longing for the Absolute.
Thus we get a glimpse of her assumed mission to make an art of spiritual revelation and archetypal beauty.
