The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival Fall Edition presents the historical mystery-drama Narciso (Paraguay, Brazil, Portugal, Germany, Spain, France, Uruguay, 2026), its Noche Cinemundo Men’s Spotlight Film, on Oct. 23., at 7:25 p.m., at Silverspot Cinema - Downtown Miami. An afterparty will follow the screening.
Paraguay, 1959. Returning from Buenos Aires with rock 'n' roll in his veins, the charismatic Narciso quickly becomes a radio sensation and a symbol of freedom in a nation suffocated by the military dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner. Admired by both men and women, his magnetic presence challenges the country's rigid social order. But after his final performance, Narciso is found dead under mysterious circumstances. As rumors spread and fear silences the truth, his death exposes a society shaped by repression, prejudice, and political control. Inspired by real events, Marcelo Martinessi crafts a haunting portrait of a nation where identity, desire, and dissent carry deadly consequences.
The film is in Spanish and Guaraní with English subtitles and runs 101 minutes.
