TWO LOST ON A DIRTY NIGHT

Charts the encounter, with explosive consequences, of two illegal immigrants in New York.

Tonho, is naïve and suburban, and lives on sub-employment while deluding his family of being successful. Paco, a young energetic gay woman, makes a living as a male prostitute and trusts in her gut feelings to feint high risk situations.

A disused loft brings together these unlikely flat mates, fuelling violent confrontations against a backdrop of New York during the Twin Tower's terrorist attacks.

Gritty, raw, engaging and angry.
