First showing in Barcelona

Popstar Oliver Sim is the main guest of a talk-show that soon slides into a surreal journey of love, shame and blood. A three-part musical short. In this romantic, queer musical, Yann Gonzalez directs the singer as he faces his inspirations and demons. A stirring tribute to B films, VHS tapes and 70s-80s short-film-like video clips. In Hideous nostalgia, dreams and monsters run wild on film. Gore, disco balls, an imaginary TV set and celebrity guest-stars, such as drag queen Bimini Bon Boulash and singer Jimmy Somerville.
