Sparkling aqua-blue waters, vast sandy beaches, luxurious high-rise hotels, and extravagant fashions are the backdrop for a mysterious string of murders in the ultra-chic Acapulco of the decadent 1980s. Mexico’s top criminologist, Mateo Osorio is dispatched to the chic and gorgeous resort city to solve a series of seemingly unconnected homicides. When he arrives, Mateo finds that he’s an outsider in a wealthy town where everybody knows everybody else’s business, and nobody wants to talk. Slowly he integrates himself into the secretive enclaves of the local social scene and begins to unravel a network of subterfuge, alliances, and betrayals fueled by unlimited sums of dirty money. But Mateo’s impeccable credentials and spotless record may not be a match for overwhelming temptations that seem to corrupt everything under the swaying palm trees and immaculate blue skies.
Police academy teacher Daniel (Antonio Saboia)has been placed on unpaid leave after a violent incident. The only thing holding him together is his cyber romance with Robson (Pedro Fasanaro), an attractive young gender-fluid worker who goes by "Sara" online and keeps their female identity secret in daily life.
When Sara suddenly goes missing, Daniel drives 2,000 miles across Brazil to find her. He posts Sara's picture all over town but no one recognizes her... until he receives a mysterious call from someone claiming to know her and asking to meet.
What follows is a journey of the heart that will change both lovers forever.
From Spanish director Marc Ferrer, CUT! is an explosive cocktail of queer giallo!
Marcos (played by Ferrer himself) is an unsuccessful, unappreciated filmmaker who is immersed in the production of his latest feature. When a series of grisly murders start happening around Barcelona, they strangely all seem to lead back to him in some way. Despite being mocked for his work, Marcos finds that he needs to keep making his films if he wants to survive.
CUT! is a colourful and lovingly over-the-top homage to Italian thrillers of the 1970s - this time with queer characters and high doses of homoeroticism.
