Best for:Solo: Late night when you need to feel something, anything.·Streaming: Small screen actually helps the claustrophobia.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Explicit male prostitution scenes, unvarnished and frequent.·Drug Use: Graphic IV drug use throughout, shot without moralizing.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Shot in Montreal's Village during actual winter, using real locations from the director's previous documentary work on sex work.

Memorable

The title deliberately echoes García Márquez to contrast romantic myth with squalid reality — the film never lets you forget the irony.
