Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
2023 | Color | 96:00

At an El Paso swimming pool in 1987, two teenage outcasts—the handsome, troubled Ari and the cultured, confident Dante—become instant friends. But when Dante wants friendship to turn into romance, the conflicted Ari recoils. This beautiful, multilayered exploration of first love and self-acceptance casts a beguiling spell.
