“This film came to me when I was in the depths of the pandemic, in confinement, and at the time it was impossible to film. So I felt liberated to make this film and to allow myself to create a film that I would want to see,” shared filmmaker Ira Sachs.

FICM director and founder Daniela Michel was present at the presentation and expressed her joy to see Ira Sachs return to Morelia after 20 years.
