Synopsis:

A boldly original tale of sexual power, dominance and oddly enough, love, Twisted Romance tells of the explosive relationship between a fragile young man and his volatile 50-year-old lover. Brooding teenager Raúl (Oscar Génova) and the rough-looking Roberto (Nehuén Zapata) meet and have an afternoon fling which turns sexually violent. Despite the age difference and the older mans controlling nature, the two form an uneasy relationship. But when Raúl becomes involved with a fellow teen, the palpable sense of impending danger becomes even greater. Exploring the darker side of relationships rarely seen in contemporary gay cinema, Twisted Romance is a compelling drama capped with a shocking conclusion.

In the suburbs of Buenos Aires, young Raul cruises Roberto, a rough looking 50 year old in a leather jacket. Although their first encounter is marred by its roughness Raul is desperate to get away from his mother's casual prostitution and moves in almost immediately. As the relationship develops Raul gets an inkling of some unpleasant discoveries about his partner. It's not just that he is a violently possessive but it seems he will stop at nothing to keep Raul under his control. This is a compelling portrait of an unbalanced relationship in a lawless community. Director José Campusano's unpredictable story is effectively told and the ever present threat of violence seems all too real. When Roberto's attentions are turned towards Raul's friends and family there seems no way out.
