The Chilean director, Fernando Guzzoni, who presented the disturbing Carne de perro here in 2012, is back at the festival with Jesús, a stark tale of youngsters lost in a maze of sex, drugs and violence. The origins of this project go back to a real event that took place in Santiago, when a teenager was murdered by another boy of his same age in a park. The press presented all this as a story with good guys and bad guys, but when Guzzoni started to look into it, he spoke to people close to the victim and the killers, and discovered that the o cial story had nothing to do with what really happened. They knew each other, they were from the same background and they all had in common the fact that they lacked a father figure.
The film shows a teenager going to discos, taking drugs with friends, drinking and having sex with both men and women in parks. The director said that when he did research on these youngsters, he realised that their relationship with their bodies couldn’t be pigeonholed as being homosexual, lesbian or straight. The actor Alejandro Goic thought that these teenagers feel utterly lonely and sex is just a desperate way of alleviating this.
