Marcos is a struggling director desperate to produce his low-budget queer take on Italian Giallo thrillers. But when the cast and crew begin to die gruesome deaths, he becomes both a prime suspect for investigators and the killer’s potential next target.

Marc Ferrer’s horror-comedy melds mystery and unabashed pastiche with an early Almodóvarian sense of humor. Featuring Spanish icons including Samantha Hudson and La Prohibida, CUT! is a meta slasher showcasing the world of queer artists in Spain and Catalonia.

Six trans women travel to a rural town in Spain to become one with nature and participate in a communal experience that leads to emotionally vigorous conversation and conflict. As the women discuss the evolution of trans rights in Spain and its legal system, they ultimately gain a deeper understanding of their innermost selves.

Director Adrián Silvestre’s free-flowing documentary delves into their connections and differences as a collective, capturing the women with empathy and as they truly are.
