Plot

Italian director Luchino Visconti declared Björn Andrésen, then just a teenager, the world's most beautiful boy during the 1971 premiere of Death in Venice. This unexpected accolade catapulted him into fame but also cast a long shadow over his life. Now, five decades later, Andrésen reflects on the profound impact of that moment, grappling with the pressures of beauty and the complexities of a life lived under such scrutiny. His journey reveals both the allure and the burden of being labeled an icon of beauty at such a young age.
