The first in a series of short film collections that looks at the gay experience south of the Rio Grande takes in six sensational stories from Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica and Peru. From Mennonite musings on the Amazonian savannah to wild Havana nights and bittersweet Rio love songs, if a rollercoaster of same sex desire is what you seek, The Latin Boys will take you there. UNICORN dir. Rodrigo Bellott A young German/Bolivian Mennonite risks his life to escape his strict religious Community to find love and freedom in the city. EL AMIGO dir. Erick Salas Kirchhausen Marcos confesses to Esteban that his relationship with his girlfriend doesn't excite him anymore. That night both will discover the limits of their friendship. MILA CAOS dir. Simon Paetau Every weekend at an illegal drag show in the suburbs of Havana, Sebastián, a 17 year old Cuban teenager, transforms into 'Mila Caos', his empowered, flamboyant alter-ego. When he returns to his daytime self, Sebastián suffers from his mother's indifference, dreaming that one day she will see him on stage for who he truly is. PRAY FOR US dir. Andrés Madrigal Alvarado In a desolate supermarket, a religious woman's peaceful evening is interrupted by the sudden arrival of three punks, who are running away from the police and hiding something much more valuable than money. CARLITO LEAVES FOREVER dir. Quentin Lazzarotto In the Amazonian jungle, the village of Palma Real resists the modern world. Carlito, a silent young man, decides to leave. On the muddy bed of the immense river, an encounter reveals the secret that Carlito has hidden from his community. I AM YET TO MAKE YOU A LOVE SONG dir. Henrique Arruda Greg and Alesandro are in the bedroom, looking at one another. The feeling of guilt and nostalgia of that moment may forever mark their lives, but it's only a gateway to allow love to walk freely amongst them. They look at one another. They feel one another. They love one another. Regardless of the unrevealed pictures or the unwritten songs.
