When his genderfluid internet girlfriend Sara goes missing, suspended police academy instructor Daniel drives 2,000 miles across Brazil to look for her. What follows is a journey of the heart and a triumphant affirmation of queer love and humanity. Venice Film Festival winner “Private Desert” is a swooning sun-baked romance and a powerful examination of masculinity.
