Living in Mexico, Lee spends his days drinking and chasing lovers. But he’s far less successful at the latter – to those around him, he’s nothing more than a source of ridicule. He just reeks of desperation. Does Eugene, his latest object of desire, see him the same way? A night of heavy drinking ends in bed, but the distance between the two men seems to remain, if not increase. Looking for a way to bond, Lee decides to take Eugene along on an expedition to find the hallucinogenic yagé – believed to hold healing properties. Perhaps then, they will finally find a sense of togetherness.

“Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, released last year, was full of playful eroticism. Queer is like the flip side of it – a film that is at the same time exquisitely beautiful and deliberately distant, keeping both its characters and audience at arm’s length. It is not a statement about love or even passion; it’s a riddle about identity. Shot by a director who, like no other, knows how to dissect and reconstruct the world frame by frame, altering it along the way – no longer shaping it into reality but into something closer to a dream, a reflection, a replica.” (Programme curator Vladas Rožėnas)
