Synopsis
In his assured feature debut, director Lucio Castro uses a brief encounter between two men, Javi and Ocho, as they begin to explore the nature of sex within a complicated relationship. Shifting forward and backward in time, this narrative slowly unfolds to reveal itself to be a portrait of a relationship that looks very different with each change and the ways relationships can evolve over time. Sexy and emotionally revealing, END OF THE CENTURY questions the structures around relationships and intimacy that LGBTQ+ people have been taught, while always maintaining a focus on the connection between Javi and Ocho as they keep finding each other in Barcelona, decades apart.
A film co-presented with aGLIFF. The All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities International Film Festival cultivates the Texas LGBTQ+ community by enlightening, educating, and entertaining our clients and patrons through programs that enrich the LGBTQ+ and ally communities while developing LGBTQ+ awareness.
