Director Matthias Lintner films his boyfriend Sadiel. They live a seemingly idyllic life in the Italian Alps, deeply in love. But as frustration with both the Cuban regime and the European left’s silence grows, Sadiel’s political stance gradually shifts. He becomes increasingly radical in his views and begins campaigning for right-wing populist Giorgia Meloni. My Boyfriend el Fascista is a beautiful and intimate portrayal of loving someone who is changing, and of how politics can create fractures in even the most private relationships.
