70-year-old Jorge (Paulo Goya) is one of the most capricious and dedicated janitors at the Paradise Motel, except for one single detail: he secretly records audio of the guests from within their rooms.
Jorge derives great pleasure from this illegal act, particularly when the recordings are of a sexual nature. He also sells the recordings to Alberto (Wilson Rabelo), an elderly client driven by a similar fetish. Furthermore, he delights in the excitement the material can provoke while inventing specific details and effectively controlling the narrative of younger people’s sex lives.
As the two men explore their passions and descend deeper into a shared fantasy world, their fascinations grow increasingly morbid.
A bold short from Brazilian filmmaker Renato Sircilli, The Cutest and Funniest Animals in the World attracted attention during its run at film festivals for its provocative, boundary-pushing narrative and for its frank representation of the sex lives of two 70-year-old gay men.
Watch a short trailer for The Cutest and Funniest Animals in the World below. The film is now available on Dekkoo.
