Description

Here lives happiness-here lives happiness, say old recordings found in the phalluses in the areas of prostitution in Pompeii. A tale of sexuality in colonialism. Mathias, a European traveler, passes through a coastal town below the equator and implodes the routine of those he encounters. In his own words: “their skin tone attracts me like an abyss.”
