Año Uña is the directorial feature debut by Jonás Cuarón, son of Mexican film director, screenwriter and producer Alfonso Cuarón and is a wonderful love-story uniquely comprised entirely of photographic stills. A soaring tale of love transcending cultural and geographical barriers the film shows how a young American, Molly, disillusioned by her past experiences with me, falls for a teenage boy, Diego, while on holiday in Mexico. Equally smitten, he decides to leave everything he knows and travel to New York in pursuit of true love. –Unanimous Pictures
