UN AÑO SIN AMO R (2005) by Anahi Berneri
(Not suitable for children under 16)

Pablo, a young, unpublished poet, relies on his family for support. Searching for love, he begins frequenting a circle of leather enthusiasts who practice sadomasochism. Sexuality soon becomes a way for him to assert his individuality. A year later, Pablo has written pages and pages about his sexual adventures and the treatment he is undergoing to combat his HIV-positive status.
Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Pablo Perez, who also co-wrote the screenplay, this debut film by Argentinian director Anahi Berneri avoids the clichés of the gay community, eschewing voyeurism or cheap provocation. It's a raw and intimate drama firmly rooted in the resurgence of Argentinian cinema in the 2000s.

Our guest: Emmanuel Le Vagueresse, University Professor (University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne), teacher at the Sciences-Po Euro-American Campus University College in Reims, specialist in contemporary Hispanic literature and cinema.
