Valentino R. Sandoli

Inspired by films like “L’inconnu du lac” and “O Ornitólogo”, director Valentino R. Sandoli has created “Cruising,” a film that explores desire, erotism and flesh, using an almost voyeuristic style that mixes together with oneiric images that provides a metaphysic tone to the story. A man meets a group of young men while bathing in a lake at the end of summer, and he immediately falls for one of them, who seems to shine with his own light. He follows them into the woods, where he watches them as he finds them in different groups and sex scenes, until he arrives to the one he fell for.

When a boy becomes a young man, the way he sees the world can change not just his perceptions of those around him, but how others see him. As burgeoning desires come to the surface, there is the choice of either embracing and acting upon them, or burying them. Includes: On the Roof [En la azotea] (2015); The Son [El hijo] (2012); Inside [Dentro] (2013); Tomboy [Même pas mort] (2007); Paradigma (2016).

What if the Mayans, the scientists or even Jordi Hurtado were wrong? What if the key to the end of the world is in Eurovision? Four friends, beers, pizzas and the Eurovision Song Contest. None of them expect what will happen at the end of the night... for better or for worse. Marga, Miki, Nati and Jorge are about to live a real life.
