Chico

2024 · 24 min

A frantic, funny, and tender slice of life as a lovestruck misfit scrambles through the city, equal parts awkward comedy and romantic yearning.

Overview: Jojo, a clumsy, goofy young gay squatter, sets out to repair a washing machine in order to satisfy Lucien, the object of his desires. He wanders around Brussels on a frantic quest, ready to take any risk to achieve his goal.
How it feels: Whimsical, tense, romantic and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Love, obsession, identity, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
