Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Two young men, Miguel and Johnny, have a close friendship and sexual relationship which they hide in front of others. They skate all day in the streets of Mexico City and sell blood to hospital emergency rooms. Trafficking blood is a way for them to earn a living and keep skating without having to follow other people’s rules. When a crime cartel contacts them to supply the blood for their clandestine clinics at a higher price, the boys accept, but the deal does not go to plan.
"This is the fifth feature-length film from Mexican-Guatemalan director Julio Hernández Cordón, who creates a very particular vision of everyday life for young people in lesser-known parts of Mexico City. 'Te Prometo Anarquía' was part of the Contemporary World Cinema section at the Toronto Film Festival, earned nominations for Best Director and Best Cinematography at the Ariel Awards, and won two awards at the Morelia Film Festival. Hernández Cordón is definitely a powerful filmmaker who makes indie cinema but has managed to captivate a wider audience with this movie."
