On the Road
A rebellious drifter hitches a ride with a lone trucker. As their intimacy deepens on the road, ghosts of the past catch up with them at each truck stop —and danger closes in
‘Veneno’, a rebellious young drifter, frequents roadside diners where he sleeps with truck drivers. Urgently needing a ride, he meets ‘Muñeco’, a hard-edged driver who keeps to himself. He convinces Muñeco to take him deep into the hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking across the north of Mexico. As they travel together and an unexpected intimacy builds between them, shadows from Veneno’s past resurface, putting both their lives at risk.
Frank and frankly hot … On the Road is unusually both hormonal and hard-boiled.
-Guy Lodge – Variety
Winner of the 2025 Venice Horizons best film and Queer Lion awards
“This burgeoning love story is also a racy, turbo-charged thriller”
– Jordan Mintzer – The Hollywood Reporter
“Frank and frankly hot … On the Road is unusually both hormonal and hard-boiled.”
– Guy Lodge – Variety
“As violent as it is intensely intimate”
– Nicholas Bell – Ioncinema
“The film builds through the rich exchange of throbbing desire, retreating emotion between the two actors. Together, they scorch the screen, leaving blistering impressions spinning far beyond an ordinary spark…
On The Road has an erotic, propulsive dynamism that cuts deep.”
– Debanjan Dhar – High On Film
