Synopsis

In 1990s New York, police officer Lucas’s daily assignment is casing a shopping mall, looking to lure gay men into intimate situations in the public bathroom so they can be arrested for indecency. During a routine shift Lucas encounters Andrew and struggles to complete his usual mission.

Editorial

Writer-director Carmen Emmi handcuffs obsession to power in this confident debut set in ‘90s New York, detecting erotic fixations in homophobic policing. With one furtive eye on William Friedkin’s cult classic Cruising, Plainclothes searches fuzzy videotape surveillance footage for forbidden desire.
