Lourenço (Marco Pigossi, in a magnetic breakout performance), a Brazilian immigrant whose visa is nearing the end, finds himself heartbroken and adrift when his American boyfriend unexpectedly leaves him alone in Provincetown with fleeting promises of his return. Enveloped by the beauty and magic of the seaside community, he grows distressed by the day as his once hopeful future has dimmed into an emotional and physical state of limbo. When he meets Maurice (James Bland), they form an unexpected connection. Together, they begin to find acceptance while they struggle to reconcile their uncertain futures. In this acclaimed feature film debut, Marco Calvani crafts a touching and intimate story of heartbreak, companionship, and self-discovery and paints a vibrant and heartfelt portrait of queer lives intersecting on the beaches of one of North America’s quintessential gay destinations.
