Permanent Green Light

head PGL
Un film réalisé par Dennis Cooper et Zac Farley - Distribution, Feature Films, LGBT, author

Roman wants to explode. Unlike other teenagers, he doesn’t seem interested in sports or drugs, girls or boys. He’s neither nihilist, religious, depressive or suicidal. His goal is to vanish, dying is unimportant and he’s only interested in the act’s spectacular effect. But please, don’t misinterpret it as a death.
