A Family Circus in a Dark Comedy

The film opens on a Spanish beach where Edward (Callum Turner) takes the newcomer George—fresh from Athens and feeling out of place—under his wing. Edward, a self‑proclaimed fashionista who sees every moment as a runway, drags George into a world of flamboyant style.

From the very first frame, the story leans heavily into sexual energy, pushing boundaries with daring intent. The cast—primarily Gen Z and Millennial young actors—delivers bold performances that challenge the notion of “prudishness” in modern youth culture.

A Family Twist

Edward’s family moves from New York to Catalonia after their mother (played by a famous actress) dies in an unusual wolf incident. The family is oddly close‑knit, yet their relationships are tangled:

• All siblings share an odd affection for one brother, Jack.
• When Jack brings home his new girlfriend, Martha (Elle Fanning), the family’s fragile equilibrium cracks.

Martha, a guitarist dressed in cheap Zara outfits, sparks outrage among the family’s fashion‑obsessed members.

Absurd Ensemble Moments

The film eschews a clear plot in favor of an ensemble of absurd moments:

• The father’s bleach‑brushing ritual.
• A bizarre scene where a character attempts to carve something on his thigh.

These sketches feel like acts in a larger circus of grotesque humor, all centered around Jack’s futile attempts to escape his bizarre family.

Director’s Vision

Drawing from avant‑garde films and modern black comedy, the director crafts a tone that is intentionally shocking—a blend of dark humor and explicit visual style that pushes taste to its limits. The energy feels more frantic than the predecessor, offering a spectacle for those who enjoy unconventional storytelling and a splash of decadence.
