Lightning strikes twice today – earlier we premiered the poster one sheet, and now we have the full trailer to Bruno Santamaría Razo’s Six Months in a Pink and Blue Building – an official Critics’ Week competition selection. Filmed on 16mm film, set in 90s Mexico City, the day Bruno turns 11, his growing feelings for his best friend Vladimir clash with the sudden announcement that his father (Lázaro Gabino Rodríguez) has HIV. Like in salsa songs, his family tries to sing and dance their pain away. Thirty years later, Bruno films and reimagines the memory of what he could not quite perceive as a child. In the exclusive trailer we have flashes of Bruno’s various rapports with others – mischief, first base teachings, and a curious Teresa Sánchez. World premiere takes place May 19th.
