Biography
Tolerance on the Edge · fiction feature
Three men in three different eras are connected by sexuality and desire, pain and inheritance — and by one of Federico García Lorca’s last unfinished plays. Moving across 1932, 1937 and 2017, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi intertwine stories of men linked by a need for love and freedom.
Intimate experience becomes part of a wider queer history, while what one generation could not say returns in the lives of those who follow.
