High Tide
Lauded playwright Marco Calvani’s debut feature is a sexy, poetic exploration of the cost of starting over.
Lourenço (Marco Pigossi) is an undocumented Brazilian immigrant, jilted by his boyfriend and working cash-in-hand jobs while indulging in unsatisfying hook-ups in Provincetown as he contemplates his next move. When he meets nurse Maurice (James Bland), he is swept up in the heat of their attraction and connection but struggles to let himself go with the flow. Also featuring Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei and Mya Taylor (Tangerine), this delicate film explores what it’s like to find yourself on the rocks, searching for stable ground.

“With his exceptionally lived-in performance, Pigossi brings Lourenço’s heartbreaking emotions to life.”
— New York Times
“A scattered but intimate drama. Pigossi delivers a stunning performance that practically heat-welds together the film’s disparate parts, making it feel whole despite the flaws in its construction.”
— Variety
