Tremulous
Directed by Roberto Fiesco
Produced by Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía
A tender, bittersweet short film about two men who share an intimate night of connection, knowing it will be fleeting.
Carlos sweeps and mops the floor of an old-time barbershop. The day before Independence Day, among the customers is Julio. Their eyes meet, and when the barbershop closes Julio comes back for Carlos. They spend the night together, eating, chatting and even dancing, knowing full well that this encounter will be brief and short-lived.
