Could this be the most controversial gay film of the decade?
One of the most controversial gay films of the decade, «Men Of Hard Skin» breaks every rule and tears down every taboo to startling effect.
Ariel is a good-looking farm hand, living with his father and sister in a rural part of Buenos Aires. He has become familiar with sex thanks to Omar, a priest with whom he has been conducting a secret affair.
Finally understanding the controversial nature of the relationship, Ariel breaks things off only to lean on his sexuality to seduce another man who works on his father’s property.
A complex but unsentimental and realistic picture of sex and abuse, «Men Of Hard Skin» is bold, contentious coming of age story with a difference.
