Down

Down is a hypnotic psychological drama exploring queer isolation, addiction, and the search for meaning in this post pandemic world, where real connections are hard to find.

Set in the borough of Brooklyn, DOWN follows Glenn Solemon, a middle-aged man navigating the blurred lines of desire, addiction, and power. Haunted by a past lover and his own self-destructive tendencies, Glenn finds solace in the cold glow of screens. As he indulges in a night of excess, Glenn crosses paths with Tim and Kar(los), two younger men with their own hidden motives. What starts as an evening of reckless pleasure spirals into a deadly game of manipulation and violence.

The film delves into Glenn’s fractured psyche as he battles with guilt, loneliness, and the ghosts of his past, all while descending into this post pandemic world, where intimacy and control become indistinguishable. When a violent act shatters the fragile illusion Glenn has built around himself, he is left with a chilling choice: escape into the darkness, or confront his demons.

Down is an unflinching queer erotic thrillersIt’s similar to Alain Guiraudie’s L’inconnu du lac, aka., Stranger by the Lake, 2013, Harry Lighton’s Pillion, 2025, Emerald Fernnell’s Saltburn,2023 and Frank Ripploh’s Taxi Zum Klo (1980)
