(Amor y matemáticas)
Claudia Sainte-Luce | Comedy, Drama, Romance

2022 | 84 minutes | Mexico

Having known fame and recognition, former boy band star Billy now lives a dull life until Monica encourages him to resume his artistic career.

Synopsis

After his time in the popular boy band Equinoccio, Billy Lozano is now living a tedious life as a married man, in his late thirties, in the suburbs. Frustrated with his lifestyle, he lives with all the necessary pseudo-comforts in the house of his dreams but feels like the biggest loser in the world since his latest entrepreneurial endeavor is a failure. He has no other occupation but to take care of his son and his wife’s dog.

Her new neighbor Monica is shocked to recognize her teen boy-band crush living across the street. When she encourages him to resume his artistic career, it appears that their lives will never be the same. Or will they?

Reviews

“It’s a welcome, biting satire that is self-aware enough to acknowledge its main character’s faults by not giving him what he initially wants, but by leaving us all guessing in the end.” — Alejandra Martinez, Austin Chronicles

“A charming and genuine comedy about a those who live trapped in yesterday's triumphs, attempting to recreate a sense of freedom and joy that is long gone.” — Rene Sanchez, Cine Sin Fronteras

“Love and Mathematics is a clever, funny, and thoughtful examination of the lengths one man (and maybe all of us) would go to for a scrap of relevancy or validation. Powered by lovely performances and smart writing.” — Alejandra Martinez, Austin Chronicles
