Elías not only feels aroused by the images of Jesus and the martyrs, he wants to be like them. In order to get closer to God, he begins to develop a masochistic tendency that increases exponentially over time. In a fleeting moment of madness, he reveals his secret to Habib, the young man he likes. As he involves Habib in his exploration of pain and pleasure, Elías soon realizes that Habib cannot provide him with what he needs. In order to receive the heavenly love of God, he must make true physical sacrifices. Written by ifs Internationale Filmschule Köln See less
