This tale of love transcending cultural and geographical barriers is uniquely made from photographic stills. A young American, disillusioned by her past, falls for a boy on holiday in Mexico. Equally smitten, he decides to leave everything he knows and travel to New York in pursuit of true love.

The debut feature from Jonás Cuarón, son of the Oscar®-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Roma), Year of the Nail is a soaring love story. Told in a style that brings to mind Chris Marker’s masterpiece La jetée, this tender tale heralds the arrival of a new voice in contemporary Mexican cinema.
