Dominic’s fetish is… himself. Nothing turns him on more than his own reflection. That’s why discovering that he has a twin brother, raised in a remote monastery by a depraved priest, causes him major consternation. Fate brings the two young men back together again, and their fraternal relationship is torn between sex, revenge and redemption.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
LaBruce openly courts what he calls 'gay incest' as radical queer destabilization of family norms—this got him banned from more festivals than welcomed.
The Saint Sebastian imagery references Derek Jarman's 'Sebastiane' and Renaissance paintings, positioning queer martyrdom as erotic spectacle.
