The Astronaut Lovers

Opening Night Gala Original language title: Los amantes astronautas
Book Tix!

Festival favourite Marco Berger (Horseplay, MGFF23; The Blonde One, MGFF19) returns with another story about male desire that sizzles just below the surface.

One hot summer, openly gay Pedro returns to Buenos Aires to spend a holiday with his cousin and some friends – including Maxi, who’s seemingly straight and full of swagger. The pair immediately fall into an easy friendship but their macho banter and jocular flirting teeters on becoming something more. With a palpable chemistry between his two leads, Berger delivers a tale that keeps them—and us—on the edge.

Australian Premiere

The screening will be followed by an Opening Night after party in Gold Class. Film-only tickets are also available.
