Event
LA MITAD DEL MUNDO - 2010 Redwood City Latino Film Festival
Mingo is a shy and innocent young man with a mild mental retardation. He is a romantic and a kind of imaginative poet. After an unusual sexual awakening, he gets involved with an older woman who introduces him to the highest pleasures and introduces him to some of her friends, she makes an ideal lover out of him. Although he surrenders to such temptations, Mingo is secretly in love with a girl that lives near him. Soon enough his adventures as a good lover become common knowledge bringing him some popularity and a few problems. Little by little, the plot will unveil the false morality of a town blinded by its own bigotry.
The film is also a strong criticism of the catholic church that allows these country people to expose their prejudices in order to cleanse their sins. A film set in Zacatecas, that with a fresh and honest tone questions the values of a small town in Mexico, its sexual repression, machismo and its intolerance.
Best Actor Hansel Ramirez at the Iberoamerican Film Festival, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Spanish language with English Subtitles.
