4 Moons

2014 · 110 min

A tender, quietly aching mosaic of queer lives in Mexico, weaving secrecy, desire and acceptance into an intimate, emotionally rich watch.

Overview
Four interwoven stories about love and self-acceptance: An eleven year-old boy struggles to keep secret the attraction he feels towards his male cousin. Two former childhood friends reunite and start a relationship that gets complicated due to one of them’s fear of getting caught. A gay long lasting relationship is in jeopardy when a third man comes along. An old family man is obsessed with a young male prostitute and tries to raise the money to afford the experience.
