Set against the stunning backdrop of the Alps, My Boyfriend El Fascista tells the true story of Matthias, a left-wing filmmaker, and Sadiel, an idealistic Cuban activist with seemingly endless energy. As Sadiel grapples with disappointment towards communist Cuba, his ideological shift towards right-wing beliefs strains his relationship with Matthias, who tries to remain coherent about his progressive ideals. Through the lens of Matthias’s camera, this intimate portrait captures their evolving relationship, mirroring political turmoil and personal transformation.
