O Fantasma

O Fantasma ( the Phantasm ) is a film Portuguese of João Pedro Rodrigues carried out in 2000 and left in 2001 to France.

Synopsis

An young man who works as street sweeper with Lisbon, Sergio, wanders during the night in the search of sexual partners. An young man seen by chance attracts it, but this last is not interested. This rejection exacerbates even more the desire of Sergio. Some plans show a man strapped and covered with black leather, and a dog groaning in a corridor.

The film, almost dumb, contains a scene of Fellation not simulated, and was interdict with less than sixteen years at its exit into the room.
