Trailer:
As unsuspecting tourists flood the city of Amsterdam, a band of rogues lies in wait... While Abba fights his obsession with the sadist Danny, his romantically naive brother, Rey, falls for the femme fatale, Faith. Danny enjoys luring tourists into his sadistic web, while Virgil, the deviant hotel owner, is there to pick up the pieces. Alfi, the devious junkie, remains Abba's faithful liege, but the worm might turn if promises of going to Spain are unfulfilled. Their dance falls apart when a cocky American steps on the scene.
Director Statement
We are drawn to the stories of unordinary madness — the entrepreneurs who took a wrong turn, the addicts unable to dull the pain, the disenfranchised living by their own moral code. The Victorians are born from this fire.
In our characters, we witness the scars that shape their identities and the moments of clarity that pull them back from the edge. Confronted with uncomfortable truths and the shades of grey in our humanity, we take a ride on the fringe of society, searching for connection, acceptance, and a sense of belonging.
Through The Victorians, we’re reminded that life’s chaos can yield profound beauty, while even the most broken and arrogant among us has the potential for redemption.
Sincerely,
The Victorians.
