A PAIXÃO SEGUNDO G.H.B. THE PASSION ACCORDING TO G.H.B.

As rain falls in São Paulo, in an unassuming apartment building, a chance Grindr hookup escalates into a frenzied orgy. As the day wears on and into the late hours of the night, Matias and his new lovers bond over sex and an abundance of drugs, and he opens up about his life—his HIV status, his former partners, his relationship with drugs, and his hopes for the future in a post-pandemic world. In his feverish state, he is visited by the iconic character G.H., a figure from Clarice Lispector’s novel *The Passion According to G.H.*
In an extraordinarily free form, blending naked bodies and simulated drug use, the filmmaker creates an odyssey of magical realism in a gay bedroom. A surrealist and gothic fantasy that explores the themes of sexuality, intimacy, and self-reflection, with captivating power.
