Armando Espitia, who broke out as the hapless young factory worker in Amat Escalante’s Cannes winner “Heli,” is attached to star in “Six Months in the Pink and Blue Building,” a feature project being brought to San Sebastian’s Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum by Mexico’s Bruno Santamaría Raso.
Autobiographical, “Six Months” is “an opportunity to understand an intimate and familiar event from the past,” in Santamaría’s words. The story, set in 1996, follows 10-year-old boy Bru, whose father is diagnosed with HIV. His father and mother are especially affectionate towards Bru and his brother despite the fact that living with a HIV patient could mean physical or social death.
“I want to film the glances and conversations that my parents had in silence and which I couldn’t observe as a child. I want to construct a fiction to see my parents once more and find some sense [in what happened],” he added.
