A seductive man with a taste for kinky sex is also a prolific serial killer. In an ironic twist of fate, he’s called upon to fulfil the last wish of a young woman as she lays dying and suddenly finds himself propelled into stardom on social media. Then a curious journalist starts to snoop.

Name Above Title is a fine-tuned horror film of few words, whose expressive actors and intriguing soundscape convey its strong emotional charge. A film where things are never what they seem on the surface, and which director Carlos Conceição steers into an unexpected place, at an ending worthy of the maestro Fellini himself.
