In 1971, due to the world premiere of Death in Venice, Italian director Lucino Visconti proclaimed his Tadzio as the world’s most beautiful boy. A shadow that today, 50 years later, weighs Björn Andrésen’s life.
A single cinematic moment of perceived perfection can become a lifelong cage for the person caught in its frame. This intimate portrait traces the heavy toll of being branded a living icon by a director's gaze.
