The area around Catalan in Brazil’s state of Goiás is dry, very dry. Sandro’s life here is somewhat monotonous. He works in a fertiliser factory, goes swimming and spends his evenings doing jigsaw puzzles of landscapes. When Maicon, a man straight out of a Tom of Finland illustration, shows up in their small town and flirts with Ricardo, Sandro’s burgeoning feelings of jealousy set a change in motion.

"P0rnographically explicit in the most disarming and empowering manner, this is by far one of my favorite films of 2020. As a Brazilian gay arthouse delight, it details a juicy story about a gay love triangle gone wrong, paired with high level of artistic demonstrations. The neon-dominated color palette is blinding, the soundtrack is apt and soothing, with Chromatics' cover of "I'm on Fire" being the absolute pinnacle, and the supposedly amateur cast members all gave a surprisingly mesmerizing and daring performance that draws you in with every blood pumping unsimulated sex scene. Director Daniel Nolasco definitely provides his own unabashed version of gay male gaze, fixing his camera on the naked male bodies every chance he gets. Despite its p0rnographic nature, what's most impressive about Dry Wind is its honesty in the depiction of hidden gay desires that every queer individual could find a piece of reality from. It's a sexually charged journey of self acceptance and discovery filled with effective humor, extreme sex, visual treats, and social consciousness. Highly recommended."
