Synopsis

Our take

Quivering to the beats of techno music, Naïla Guiguet’s rapturous short film is steeped in the sweet melancholy that arises when the dancing stops. A hot-blooded and authentic snapshot of youth culture made unforgettable by the fiery presence of trans performer and real-life DJ Dustin Muchuvitz.
