Just a Guy is an animated documentary film about love. Three women share glimpses of their affection, attraction, and relationship with Richard Ramirez—a serial killer and rapist they contacted after his conviction in the 1980s. Through their perspective, we revisit exchanged letters and emotions that are as obsessive as they are hauntingly familiar.
