A steamy Mexican dance drama is on the way—& this cast knows how to rock some tights!
la petite mort, which literally translates to “little death.” So, considering there’s a new gay, Mexican dance drama on the way called Seré Breve Al Momento De Morir—a.k.a.
Dying Briefly, in English—we’ll give you one guess what this movie is really about…From filmmaker Juan Briseño, Dying Briefly debuted this past summer in Mexico, but it’s recently been picked up by indie LGBTQ+ distributor TLA Releasing for the U.S.
and U.K. And, for the sound of it, this is definitely a title you’ll want to keep an eye out for!Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Set within the mirror-lined walls of one of the country’s top dance companies, the film tells a gripping story of love, lust, jealousy, and of course bodies in motion.Soon after landing a coveted spot within the prestigious academy, our protagonist Sebastian (Martín Saracho, from Max’s Spanish-language Sierra Madre: No Trespassing) finds himself falling for charismatic fellow dancer Arsenio (Joan Kuri, star of comedic telenovela La Mexicana Y El Güero).But their blissful romance gets messy thanks to the arrival of Mikael (Mikael Lacko, from Netflix‘s El Dragón), a demanding—and handsome—lead choreographer who “turns their company into a battlefield.”Complicating things further is the fact that Mikael sees real promise in Sebastian—and maybe the potential for… something else—giving him a lead position and effectively dethroning the former reigning star, Luciano (trans actress Nova Coronel, of Prime Video’s Mexican AIDS drama Tengo Que Morir Todas Las Noches).Both feeling betrayed and seeking revenge, Arsenio and Luciano hatch a plot to take Sebastian down, just as his dance career is about to take off.Thus far, only a few promotional images and a non-subtitled trailer are out there to give us a taste of what’s in store.
