About Besos en la frente
Mercedes, a widow of eighty and fearful of loneliness, falls in love with Sebastian, a writer sixty years younger than her. Mercedes will feel trapped in her wrinkled and slow body that which prevents her from living their love as it should be lived.
Directed by Carlos Galettini, Besos en la frente leans on a strong ensemble — Leonardo Sbaraglia, China Zorrilla, Claudio García Satur — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1996.
