Give a Kiss

On the set of a student short film in Mexico, Diego (Rodrigo Barón) and Luis (Sebastián Ladrón de Guevara) have to shoot a kiss, and neither of them can get through it. As the takes pile up and the pressure builds, the two young men start asking themselves why they signed up for the project in the first place. The answers lead somewhere uncomfortable: to the homophobic things each of them has said and done in the past, and to the question of whether they can make up for it. Directed by Carlos Lowmet, this 13-minute Mexican short in Spanish blends comedy and romance in a story about awkwardness, accountability and the chance to do better, with Antonio Pimentel Aviles also in the cast. It is featured on Here TV in The Gay Agenda 39.
