PONYBOI

On Valentine’s Day, Ponyboi, a sex worker, must welcome the brother of the local mafia boss, while his pimp, a small-time drug dealer, dines with his pregnant fiancée. But the evening does not go as planned, everything spirals out of control in a matter of minutes, and Ponyboi decides to flee. But where to?

Between reconciliation and fantasy, flashbacks to his experiences as an intersex child, the struggle to survive and the race to find hormones, friendly encounters and fatal encounters, the poetry of the scenes written and performed by River Gallo, who is intersex themselves, is captivating. This electrifying genre film, a vintage-style mafia thriller, is a resounding cry for empowerment for all marginalized people.
