Project Detail

Dirty Bent Bastards

Synopsis

Two dysfunctional, underworld gay couples take stock of their failing relationships against the backdrop of a ruthless revenge plot on a homophobic thug. A f*cked up and outrageous black comedy that subverts the British gangster movie, but at its heart tells a story about people's fear of growing old, and without love.

Director: Max Barber

Year: 2008

Terry is an average gay guy, searching for love, but hardly noticed in a looks and body orientated London gay scene. Coming home alone from a night of clubbing - again - Terry logs on to one of the many gay pick up sites available on the Internet. With nothing but sleazy men, timewasters and strange men on line, Terry almost gives up on meeting the man of his dreams until a magic website promises him otherwise. Suddenly given the powers to change his body to anything he describes himself as on-line, Terry starts to conjure up an array of gorgeous looks for himself. But as he embarks on a string of sexual encounters, Terry has to discover the hard way that beauty really is only skin deep.

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
