Description
Valentin and Molina seemingly share little other than a cell in this queer classic ahead of its time.
Sometimes they talk all night long. In the still darkness of their Buenos Aires prison cell, Molina re-weaves the glittering and fragile stories of the film he loves, and the cynical Valentin listens. Valentin believes in the just cause that makes all suffering bearable; Molina believes in the magic of love that makes all else endurable. Though they seemingly share little other than a cell, the two form a bond so intimate - and a relationship so profoundly affecting - that only the other could understand.'
A visionary work that breathed life into certain dimensions of human possibility long before society at large was prepared to imagine them.'
