Netflix released the first full trailer for The black ballone of its main bets for the next awards season.
From the directors Javier Calvo y Javier Ambrossialso known as The Javiscomes this Spanish queer epic, whose plot set in 1932, 1937 and 2017, explores the interconnected lives of three gay men.
The film is inspired by an unfinished work of the same title by the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca and the play The dark stone of Alberto Conejero.
Conejero co-wrote the script with Calvo and Ambrossi.
“The central question of this film is what we do with our past, with our heritage, with the objects and art that last, with the traces left by history,” Calvo tells Netflix Tudum.
The new trailer begins with a family secret and ends with the tide rising on a rocky beach. The first of the three timelines follows Carlos (Milo Quifes), a young man who tries to join an exclusive social club; the second focuses on Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente), a soldier in the fascist army during the Spanish Civil War; and the third accompanies Alberto (Carlos González), a current historian who tries to reveal a secret from his family's past.
The cast includes the acting debut of the Spanish musician Guitarricadelafuente (real name Alvaro Lafuente Calvo), Carlos Gonzalez (Love is forever), Miguel Bernardeau (Elite), Milo Quifes, Lola Duenas (Bird Box: Barcelona), Penelope Cruz (The Invite) y Glenn Close (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery).
