This shocking, riotous comedy pushes the envelope to the point of breaking wide open. In a merciless self-parody, director Silva is creatively moribund and popping pills in Mexico City. He retreats to a notorious gay nude beach, where amid the bacchanal he encounters an obnoxious influencer (Firstman in a similarly mocking self-portrait) eager to participate in—and finance—a new project.
