Plot summary
Naima is an actor starting work on her first major film, and she cannot connect with the material; the people making it suggest the problem is her own lack of vulnerability. One night she accompanies a friend to a gay bar, where Sergio, a singer, performs a song. Naima goes home with Sergio and her friends, and the two have sex. Talking about relationships, Sergio floats an experiment: spend 24 hours with one person, having sex once each hour, to fast forward the intimacy. Naima is uncomfortable and says no. The next day she learns she has been replaced on the film, and that evening she turns up at Sergio's house to take her up on the offer. Sergio hesitates, and agrees only after Naima promises not to leave.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Duck Butter (2018)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Principal photography on Duck Butter took just nine days in September 2016, with the majority of the film shot over a single 24-hour period.
- Alia Shawkat, cast as the lead, met with actors who were uncomfortable with the premise; after casting Laia Costa, who accepted a supporting part only if she could stay on set for the entire 24-hour shoot, Shawkat and co-writer Miguel Arteta rewrote the role for a woman.
