HIGH
Spain / 80'
Plot
When it opens its doors, the High becomes the first gay club in Bilbao and the first in Spain to have a darkroom. Soon, men from all over began to inhabit its corridors and nooks and crannies, sharing the space with curious neighbours who peeked in to enjoy the pornographic films that the owner was showing. Over the years, the parties, desires and fears evolve, while the High remains a silent witness to all that goes on inside.
