Principal Entry — Desire is mysterious. Desire is overwhelming. Desire is tragic. Desire is FURIOUS. The many permutations of that strange thing called desire are on full display in this collection of short films:

  1. Daytime Doorman tracks the burgeoning desire between Marcelo and his sexy doorman Marcio.
  2. Xavier charts the beginnings of desire, when Nicholas begins to notice his son, Xavier, only pays attention to certain types of boys.
  3. The Other Side is about the frustrations of unfulfilled desire when the object of your lust is beyond your reach- literally.
  4. The Tigers Fight explores what happens when one man, unbound by the ancient traditions, decides to subvert what’s expected of him to declare his desire for his best friend
  5. Loris Is Fine we learn about the lengths two young lovers will go to prove that their love is beyond desire.

Notes
I can't figure out this film. I know what the jacket publicity says, but it's not obvious in the film itself, even after watching it several times· If I am to believe the plot blurb, he is not just "naive and in deep need for affection·" His needs are not just naiveté· They are pathological· Maybe it runs in the family? The aunt's intimate interest in her adult-age nephew seems odd to me.
