Dark and sexy real estate agent Victor is making a killing – literally!

In an attempt to transform Madrid’s Chueca neighborhood into the next Chelsea, he’s come up with the perfect plan – murdering elderly women (but making it look like suicide), buying up their property, and selling to upwardly mobile gay couples.

But when his latest victim leaves her apartment to Leo and Rey, the friendly working-class bear couple next door, Victor must hatch a scheme to get his way --- no matter what.

Harkening back to the early, outrageous films of Pedro Almodóvar, Boystown is adapted from the Spanish comic book about the antics of Leo and Rey, while murders, steamy bathhouses, and loveably sexy characters set the stage for dark comedy and melodrama in Spain's newest "gayborhood.”

This was a great film. I think I should move to Spain because I love their sense of humor. The main characters were all great. I really enjoyed the smaller role of the Chief Detective.
