Mexican Bruno Santamaria Razo will compete in the Critics’ Week, the parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival dedicated to the discovery of new filmmakers, with ‘Seis meses en el edificio rosa con azul’, his first fiction feature film, the organization announced Monday.
The film takes place in the early 1990s in Mexico City around Bruno, an 11-year-old boy who has increasingly intense feelings for his best friend, Vladimir.
The news that his father has HIV has a sudden impact on his life and his family tries to chase away the pain by singing and dancing. Thirty years later, Bruno films and reimagines the memory of that experience and what he did not fully perceive as a child.
The cast includes Jade Reyes, Sofía Espinosa, Lázaro Gabino, Eduardo Ayala, Valeria Vanegas and Anuar Vera, among others, reported Agencia EFE.
