Synopsis: Two deteriorating lives build a friendship framed in reflections on identity, loneliness and death in Chile during the 1990s. Eyeshadow offers a poetic point of view about HIV/AIDS and its social stigma, inspired by the chronicles of Pedro Lemebel – an openly gay Chilean activist and writer, known for his cutting critique of authoritarianism and humorous descriptions of Chilean culture from a queer perspective.
