About Bienvenido-Welcome
During a business trip, a married man (José) has an affair with a blonde who leaves him the message "Welcome to the world of AIDS". Later, his wife Maria, unaware of the situation, makes love to her husband when he is drunk. The consequences of the contagion are devastating. José and María find the support of a group of filmmakers who decide to make a film of their story.
Directed by Gabriel Retes, Bienvenido-Welcome leans on a strong ensemble — Gabriel Retes, Luis Felipe Tovar, Jesse Borrego — 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 comedy titles of 1995.
