A THOUSAND PEACE
Director: Julian Hernandez
Mexico, 2002. 80 minutes.
Black and white. In Spanish with English Subtitles.
17-year-old Gerardo and his friend Bruno have split up. Gerardo finds himself wandering aimlessly about the streets of Mexico City. As he meanders, he is tortured by images: every male body he sees rekindles memories of his lover, who is with him once again in his imagination. However, his wet dreams do not alleviate his suffering, nor does masturbation provide him with any kind of relief. Even his brief, surprising sexual encounters with strangers can't help him get over the pain of his loss.
Gerard, remaja 17 tahun dan sahabatnya Bruno, berpisah. Gerardo mendapati dirinya keluyuran di jalan-jalan Mexico-City. Dalam lika-liku perjalanannya dia disiksa oleh imaji-imaji dalam kepalanya. Setiap tubuh laki-laki membangkitkan kenangan akan kekasihnya yang selalu datang kembali dalam imajinasinya. Mimpi basah tidak meringankan penderitaannya, tidak juga masturbasi membuat dia lega, bahkan seks instan dengan orang-orang asing yang ditemuinya juga tidak membantunya lepas dari rasa sakit kehilangan kekasihnya.
