From director Luca Guadagnino (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, BIGGER SPLASH) comes an adaptation of William S. Burroughs semi-autobiographical novel. Set in 1950s Mexico City, the film centres on William Lee, an American expatriate in his late forties, who has been living an isolated life within a small community of fellow ex-pats.

Their developing relationship delves into themes of yearning, love, and self-identity, as Lee starts to break free from his solitary existence.
