, is a film about two queer Mexican boys who discover deep secrets within themselves over the course of a school year. The movie is an adaptation of Benjamin Alire Sáenz YA novel of the same name.
Aristotle introduces the audience to his family, and life as a high school student. He’s not interested in being one of the cool kids, he wants something more than a provincial life in 1985 New Mexico. However, a chance encounter with Dante , a young man he meets at the local pool, leads to an intense year for him. Aristotle’s Father Jamie mopes about the house in a melancholic mood, which is why he’s closer to his Mother Liliana .
It may not be super realistic but it’s good to see this type of representation coming from the Latin community. People can bring out the best or worst in each other, but good friendships are transformative. Feeling that level of comfort and amiability with someone you can trust can bring about some real honesty, and this is what these two young men do for one another. They experience the highs, lows, and rock bottoms of their individual journeys, but because their bond is so strong, these two meet in the middle of understanding anyway.
