Details

From its deceptively simple opening shot to its complex narrative weaving nostalgia, personal and social history, Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity, 2014) conjures a moment from his own past that moves from autobiography to the poetic and the political as he re-visits the world of his childhood in 1970’s Mexico. Against a series of exquisitely filmed black and white images we are invited into the often dream-like evocation of the world of family, nurturance and trauma that holds both pain and love.
