Alone in New York for a summer, art student Adnan spends his days manning the desk at a hole-in-the-wall gallery and his nights cruising delivery drivers in McCarren Park. The embroidered erotica currently on exhibition ignites a series of memories of past affairs upstate that unfold in dreamy reverse chronology. Argentine filmmaker Lucio Castro’s sensual reverie was an under-the-radar highlight of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. (MK)
