Summary: From case cover: "A Thousand Clouds of Peace, the debut feature of young Mexican writer and director Julián Hernández, is a sublime meditation on love, heartbreak, sex, and loneliness. Hernandez is too smart and too sensitive to join his compatriots in their race to match Hollywood's action output. Instead, A Thousand Clouds offers up romantic pleasures that cannot be found in a quickie - and delivers its love bites with the smooth deliberate tempo of a bolero. It's a film for anyone who ever went to bed forlorn, comforted only by Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday - or Sara Montiel - on the stereo. As for me, I'm not sad at all: I just filled a slot of my 10-best list for 2004." Gerardo, a gay teenager, roams the streets of Mexico City in search of someone able to reveal the secret, hidden between the lines of a goodbye letter from his ex-lover. In his journey through barren alleys and roadways, he is haunted by images: each masculine body he sees reminds him of his lover. Directed by Julián Hernández, the film won the Teddy Award for best film at the Berlin International Film Festival and was an Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, 2004.
