In Los Angeles, every day is Armageddon day for high schooler Dark and his friends: they indulge in kinky sex, encounter a Baywatch teen idol, grapple with addiction, and get ready for the party of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Dark finds himself pondering true love, desperate for someone or something to hold onto—especially when a reptilian alien is in town.

Nowhere is the final entry of Gregg Araki’s iconic Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, where the confusion, fear, and joy of being young and queer in 1990s LA is presented in its full candy-coloured glory. Known for his musical connoisseurship, Araki tailored a legendary time capsule of a soundtrack for the film featuring the likes of Lush, Massive Attack, and Portishead. The film’s opening sequence to Slowdive’s ‘Avalyn II’ is a beautiful marriage between sight and sound for all shoegaze lovers to behold.

M+ Cinema will present a brand new 4K restoration of this film that premiered in 2023.
