Under the Gaze of Night

The story

Set in a park at night during the pandemic, the story follows a gay man who suffers from an intense fear of AIDS. This fear isolates him and prevents him from engaging in sexual relationships, yet he is drawn to the park’s charged atmosphere of desire. The park, a known cruising spot for gay men, becomes a place where he encounters a range of strangers — each searching, escaping, or surrendering in the shadows.
