It's 1996 and Pablo Perez (Jan Minujn) is struggling both with turning 30 and discovering that he is HIV-positive. He keeps a journal chronicling his search for romance in magazine ads, crusing in a porn cinema, and picking up men in bars. Eventually, he discovers leather, bondage and a gorgeous man (Javier van de Couter) who he might be able to love.
But this isn't a predictable love story. Director Anahi Berneri dives into the grubby backstreets of Buenos Aires, to capture Pablo's awkward relationships, intense yearning and his deep self-doubt. It's a remarkably detailed examination of a gay man who feels detached in his own community until he discovers a new life through S&M.
A Year Without Love (Un Ano Sin Amor) is a provocative and engaging story from Argentina about the need for human connection. Even if it comes in the most unexpected places, like the S&M scene.
