A deeply introspective coming-of-age drama about a boy navigating sexual identity and self-acceptance amid the fear and stigma of the HIV crisis in rural 1990s Mexico.

This is Arturo's tale, a coming of age story about a boy who tries to find and accept his sexual identity. It takes place in a small town in the state of Zacatecas during the 90's, and explores the stigma the homosexual community lived during the HIV crisis.
