Check out this new trailer for upcoming queer romance film Private Desert from filmmaker Aly Muritiba, set for cinemas in the US starting in select locations from 26th August.
The film is described in the PR notes as ‘a timely and urgent affirmation of queer love anchored by striking performances from Antonio Saboia (Bacurau) and newcomer Pedro Fasanaro.’
Here’s a little more about the movie.
“Remember when we talked about being alone in the world?” Sara (Pedro Fasanaro) is a genderfluid blue-collar worker who lives as her male birth identity Robson by day while caring for her religious grandmother in Sobradinho, a small town in northeast Brazil. Daniel (Antonio Saboia), who teaches in a police academy in southern metropolis Curitiba, has been placed on unpaid leave after a violent incident that’s all over the news. Tense and tightly wound, he comes from a long line of police and military men, including his ailing father with whom he is tender and patient, displaying none of the machismo his work demands.The only thing holding him together is his online romance with Sara, whom he has never met in person. When she suddenly disappears, Daniel drives 2,000 miles across Brazil to find her, and what follows is a journey of the heart that will change Sara and Daniel forever.
