Pornomelancholia

Lured by quick money and potential opportunities, Lalo lands the lead role in an audacious adult version of the Mexican Revolution, portraying legendary leader Emiliano Zapata. His striking features, accentuated by a dark moustache, win him the role and his risqué online presence skyrockets as he goes viral. However, the reality of his work, battling the challenges on set and the exhaustive demands of a director whose artistic vision is heavily influenced by the surreal eye of Luis Buñuel, is less glamorous. Despite his rising fame and captivating online persona, Lalo feels increasingly isolated. His journey in the adult film industry becomes a quest of self-discovery, underlining the stark contrast between his public image and personal loneliness.

PORNOMELANCHOLIA not only takes a peek behind the scenes of the rarely explored gay adult film sector but is also a poignant commentary on the personal costs of chasing illusions of fame in the digital age.
