Synopsis

A documentary that explores the hidden and often stigmatized world of chemsex — the practice of using drugs in sexual encounters — among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Spain. Through candid testimonies, it reveals the emotional, psychological, and physical dimensions of this phenomenon, tracing how pleasure, intimacy, loneliness, and addiction intertwine. The film follows participants’ personal journeys, showing both the allure and the consequences of chemsex, while giving voice to health professionals and activists who work to offer support and understanding. Rather than judging, it invites reflection on desire, connection, and the search for belonging within the LGBTQ+ community.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
