SYNOPSIS

A group of unknown gay men connect via a dating app for casual encounters. The starting point is a chemsex party, where drug use intensifies sexual experiences, but also reveals the depths of human emotions. The film explores both the fascination and liberating energy of these encounters and the emptiness and loneliness that can haunt a gay man's life. "Chemsex" offers a non-judgmental view of the complexities of these moments, highlighting the richness of human experiences and the emotional layers that shape the characters' journeys. As the night unfolds, the characters confront not only their physical desires, but also their search for deeper, more meaningful connections across the ephemerality of chemical pleasure.
